Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche was confirmed Saturday to lead the U.S. Department of Justice, the news coming after Republican lawmakers struggled to make a decision. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) announced at the last minute on Friday that he would support Blanche’s confirmation, Fox News reported Saturday. Cassidy’s support placed Blanche in the position to be confirmed. “Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told Congress earlier this month that the Trump administration was ending plans for the fund due to bipartisan backlash,” the outlet said. Blanche announced Sunday he formally rescinded the anti-weaponization fund, days before lawmakers voted on his nomination, according to UPI.
