Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) explained why he ultimately voted to advance Todd Blanche's nomination for U.S. Attorney General after days of negotiations with the Department of Justice and fellow Republicans.

Todd Blanche’s nomination had stalled in committee over his refusal to officially end Donald Trump’s slush fund.

The deal clears the way for Todd Blanche's nomination to be advanced out of the Senate Judiciary Committee in a vote on Tuesday.
