Blanche, who is serving as acting chief of the Justice Department, attached an order dated Sunday to his post that said, “The Attorney General’s May 18, 2026 Order establishing the Anti-Weaponization Fund (‘Fund’) is rescinded and shall have nor force or effect.”
Tillis and Cornyn said in their statement that the acknowledgement addressed “concerns that multiple of our Republican colleagues share.”
The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote Tuesday on Blanche’s nomination, meaning he could be confirmed before the chamber leaves for a five-week recess.
CNN has reached out to the White House for comment on Blanche’s order.
