Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general cleared a key hurdle Tuesday, setting the stage for new momentum at the Justice Department once he’s officially confirmed.

Blanche’s nomination as attorney general will move to a full Senate vote, despite critics who argue he didn’t sufficiently kill Trump’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund.
