Two United States Republican senators have said they will end their opposition to US President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Justice, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, after Blanche scrapped a controversial “anti-weaponisation fund” that bipartisan critics say would use taxpayer dollars to reward Trump’s political allies. AdvertisementBlanche stated during a hearing at the Justice Department in June that he would not move forward with the fund. If Cornyn and Tillis did not support Blanche, Trump wrote on social media on Saturday that he would “push hard to get the Anti-Weaponization Bill” passed. He added that he would also keep Blanche as acting attorney general and bypass the Senate confirmation process. “This order establishes, beyond any doubt, that there is no Fund.”
