The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday postponed a vote to advance acting Attorney General Todd Blanche\u2019s nomination to become the next attorney general. <\/p>\n

Republican Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina demanded that the Department of Justice (DOJ) formally end a $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund and rewrite language in a settlement that restricts Trump and his family from tax audits. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley postponed the scheduled vote for Thursday after Cornyn claimed the DOJ did not meet his demands. <\/p>\n

\u201cChairman Grassley works to set President Trump\u2019s nominees up for success in committee, not failure,\u201d a spokesperson for Grassley said. \u201cSenators Cornyn and Tillis want written assurances from the Department of Justice regarding the Trump-IRS settlement. Tomorrow\u2019s markup is postponed as work continues to secure sufficient support in committee to favorably report Attorney General-nominee Todd Blanche, who is highly qualified for the job.\u201d (RELATED: How A Cancelled Meeting Throws Wrench Into Trump AG Nominee\u2019s Confirmation)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blanche would need Cornyn and Tillis\u2019 vote to get across the finish line, especially since the late Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham\u2019s passing. It is unlikely that any Democrat on the committee would vote in favor of Blanche\u2019s nomination. <\/p>\n

Blanche intended to meet with the Texas senator Wednesday, though the meeting was abruptly cancelled. Grassley gave Cornyn until 4 p.m. EDT Wednesday to decide on how he would vote. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cornyn and Tillis wanted the DOJ to provide them written assurances they would meet their demands. The DOJ told the Daily Caller News Foundation Wednesday that they sent Cornyn a written proposal, though Cornyn said it did not meet his demands and sent it back with notes. <\/p>\n

Cornyn reportedly sent the DOJ a counter-proposal Wednesday. <\/p>\n

Following his Wednesday meeting with Grassley, Cornyn told the DCNF and other reporters that he would not speculate on whether the markup would occur the following day. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tillis told the DCNF and other reporters Wednesday he was \u201cprepared to support\u201d Blanche if his demands on the weaponization fund and audits were met. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe key there is exactly what I\u2019ve said. That this agreement, the 1776 fund, needs to go away, and the language with respect to audits needs to be very tightly tailored,\u201d Tillis said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t include anybody but the parties of the agreement, and it can only be retroactive. You do that, and I\u2019m prepared to support.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tillis demanded that Blanche meet with alleged victims of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in exchange for his support. Blanche complied with the demand and met with several of the alleged victims at DOJ headquarters, which appeared to satisfy Tillis. <\/p>\n

Cornyn lost his primary in May after Trump endorsed Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton one week before the runoff. Tillis announced in June 2025 that he would not seek reelection after Trump threatened to back a primary challenger over the senator\u2019s vote against the One Big, Beautiful Bill. <\/p>\n

Trump accused Cornyn of being \u201cvery disloyal,\u201d arguing the senator did not support him during difficult moments and did not fight hard enough to pass the Safeguard America Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act.<\/p>\n
