July 30, 2026

Hon. Todd Blanche testifies during a congressional hearing, focusing on key issues with attentive audience members in the background.

President Trump on Thursday announced a plan to circumvent RINO Senators Cornyn and Tillis after they tried to derail Todd Blanche’s confirmation for Attorney General.

The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday evening postponed a key vote to advance Todd Blanche’s nomination for Attorney General.

The Senate Judiciary Committee was set to vote on Blanche’s nomination on Thursday morning.

However, Chairman Chuck Grassley postponed the markup vote as RINO Senators Tillis and Cornyn make demands from the DOJ on its language related to restricting Trump’s IRS agreement.

Cornyn and Tillis are demanding that the DOJ submit in writing Todd Blanche’s commitment to scrap the weaponization fund.

On Thursday morning, President Trump said he may temporarily withdraw Todd Blanche’s nomination until Senators Cornyn and Tillis leave office.

Full statement from President Trump:

Todd Blanche is a STAR, and everyone knows it!

He has the potential to go down as one of the Greatest Attorney Generals of All Time.

However, John Cornyn, of Texas, and Thom Tillis, of North Carolina, both of whom I refused to Endorse, and whose political careers have been ended by my action, are refusing to vote for this Great Nominee, who will remain, in any event, as Acting.

Remember, both Cornyn and Tillis voted for Merrick Garland, and others, too numerous to mention.

I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd’s name, if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office. President DONALD J. TRUMP
