Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche officially rescinded Donald Trump’s controversial $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund after weeks of pressure from Republican Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, clearing a major hurdle in his Attorney General confirmation battle.The Justice Department declared, “There is no Fund,” confirming no money was transferred, no board was formed, and no claims were ever paid, while also narrowing tax audit protections tied to the IRS settlement. Will this dramatic U-turn secure Blanche’s confirmation, and how will Donald Trump respond after previously defending the fund and warning GOP holdouts?

Republican Sens. Thom Tillis and John Cornyn have been holding up Trump’s nomination for attorney general, seeking assurances that the controversial weaponization fund is dead.

Todd Blanche previously repeatedly told Congress the "anti-weaponization fund" was "dead."
