Booker accused Republican Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn of abandoning their opposition to Blanche after he rescinded an order for a $1.776 billion “weaponization” fund. The New Jersey Democrat expressed concern that the fund, which many feared would benefit January 6 rioters, could still be created later, calling the agreement “ridiculous.”Booker characterized Blanche as being “about Trump and not truth” and “the worst choice for attorney general by a president in history” also citing his role in the Epstein files response. Blanche's nomination was advanced by the committee in a 12-10 party-line vote, with his confirmation now awaiting a full Senate vote.
