President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer Todd Blanche appeared on track Monday to become the next US attorney general after two Republican senators dropped their opposition to his nomination.

Two key Senate Republicans said Monday they will back Todd Blanche, Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general, after he rescinded the president’s “anti-weaponization” fund.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, a key holdout on confirming Todd Blanche for attorney general, struck a deal to end the controversial "anti-weaponization fund."
