Cornyn defends Blanche assurances on Trump IRS settlement, Epstein survivors after vote clearance
The segment featured Sen. John Cornyn explaining his support for advancing Todd Blanche's Attorney General nomination after receiving written assurances that the controversial Anti-Weaponization Fund from the Trump v. IRS settlement is 'dead' and that audit protections for the Trump family are limited to past claims and parties only. Cornyn addressed frustrations from Epstein survivors who met with Blanche, calling their experience a tragedy but saying a 'no' vote wouldn't help them. The panel then dissected the non-binding nature of Blanche's memos, potential court challenges, and sway over moderate GOP senators like Collins and Murkowski on Epstein handling and abortion-related comments.
