SCOTT SIMON, HOST:Early today, the Senate confirmed President Trump's nominee for U.S. attorney general. That's Bill Cassidy from Louisiana. It is between Mr. Blanche and another acting attorney general who may not run the department effectively under President Trump. One way it does that is by letting President Trump put tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil and natural gas. President Trump had insisted that they could also approve the so-called SAVE America Act.
