John Cornyn's stand against Trump's attorney general pick could spare vulnerable Senate Republicans from an election-year vote Democrats would eagerly weaponize.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, a key holdout on confirming Todd Blanche for attorney general, struck a deal to end the controversial "anti-weaponization fund."

U.S. Senator John Cornyn has released a statement praising the U.S. National Science Foundation’s (NSF) announcement of a $25,000,000 award to Texas A&M University to build a Materials Innovation Platform (MIP) facility.

If the reporting on Cornyn’s demands is correct, then Trump, Don Jr., Eric, and their company still get the $100 million gift from the President’s own administration to himself. And locking that in has the political (though not legal) effect of Senate Republicans publicly ratifying the corrupt bargain by voting to confirm Blanche.

President Trump said Todd Blanche will remain acting attorney general as a holdup on his nomination continues.

In standing in the way of Todd Blanche, President Trump’s choice for attorney general, a liberated Senator John Cornyn is wielding his leverage.

Trump accuses Sen. John Cornyn of blocking Todd Blanche's attorney general confirmation over the anti-weaponization fund and audit immunity disputes.

President Donald Trump has set his sights on a GOP Senator. In lengthy Truth Social post Friday, Trump took aim at Republican Sen. John Cornyn for holding up acting attorney general Todd Blanche’s confirmation over the Trump administration’s $1.
