A Stubbornly Naive Group of GOP Senators

GOP Senators Thom Tillis, John Cornyn, and Bill Cassidy extracted written assurances from Todd Blanche that a $1.8 billion fund for payouts to Trump allies would not proceed before voting to confirm him as attorney general. Blanche later stated on Meet the Press that Trump would never ask him to do something unethical or illegal, despite his prior involvement in negotiating such a fund.
