Senate panel delays vote on Blanche attorney general nomination as key Republicans withhold support

The Senate Judiciary Committee postponed a vote on Todd Blanche's nomination for attorney general after Republican Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis demanded more assurances regarding the settlement of a lawsuit between President Donald Trump and the IRS. The delay was announced after negotiations between the Justice Department and the two senators over the terms of the settlement, which includes tax audit immunity for the Trump family.
