The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee has scheduled an executive business meeting for Tuesday to consider the nomination of Todd Blanche to be U.S. attorney general, according to the committee’s website.
Blanche’s nomination has been stalled after a standoff with fellow Republicans over a plan by President Donald Trump for a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund that could be used to pay people who participated in the January 6 protests at the U.S. Capitol.
