  1. President Trump's nomination of Todd Blanche as attorney general is in jeopardy due to GOP holdouts.

  2. Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis demand the permanent elimination of the $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund' before voting for Blanche.

  3. The fund was created in a settlement agreement from Trump's lawsuit against the IRS.

  4. A single Republican no vote could block Blanche's confirmation, with all Democrats expected opposed.

  5. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley says a solution is being worked on, with a key provision still unresolved.
