President Donald Trump has pressed GOP senators to confirm his pick for attorney general, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. Nevertheless, Cornyn’s office confirmed that the Texas Republican – who was ousted by a Trump-backed challenger in May – “has reached an agreement” with the Trump administration regarding his demands. “When this kabuki standoff began, Cornyn wanted Blanche to modify the purported settlement agreement. This isn’t that: Blanche rescinded a separate [Office of the Attorney General] directive,” wrote Adam Klasfeld, editor-in-chief of All Rise News. Broadway performer Tony Clements argued that Cornyn’s conduct was “pathetic,” sarcastically quipping, “what a legacy” for the outgoing GOP senator whose decades-long career in politics was cut short by Trump.
