What happened, for context
Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a formal order rescinding a $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund' established in May 2026 as part of a settlement with President Trump. The move followed negotiations with Republican senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, who had blocked Blanche's nomination pending written confirmation the fund was dead. The rescission clears the path for Blanche's Senate confirmation vote, scheduled for Tuesday.
