Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche announced on Sunday that he had revoked the May 18, 2026 order creating the fund. Cornyn and Tillis maintained that eliminating the fund was a necessary condition for advancing Blanche’s nomination. Their opposition created uncertainty over the confirmation process, making the issue a key hurdle ahead of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s scheduled vote. By rescinding the order, the Justice Department appears to have addressed one of the primary concerns blocking Blanche’s path to confirmation. The committee’s decision will determine whether his nomination advances to the full Senate for a confirmation vote.
