Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination to become the permanent head of the Justice Department is facing significant hurdles, with two influential Republican senators expressing serious reservations. Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina have both raised concerns about a settlement the DOJ reached with President Donald Trump, his two oldest sons, and the Trump Organization, which grants them immunity from past tax liabilities. Cornyn has specifically demanded that the DOJ modify the deal in writing to clarify that it only benefits Trump and his immediate family, only shields them from audits for past tax years, and does not protect them from investigations by federal agencies outside the IRS and Treasury Department. He stated that the DOJ knows what it needs to do but has refused to act, and he warned that he will not support Blanche without these concessions.
