Todd Blanche's confirmation as attorney general has been delayed because Senate GOP leaders question a planned $1.8 billion fund for Trump allies and the president’s immunity from tax scrutiny.

The senators demanded written assurances before moving forward, insisting on clear safeguards to protect the president from IRS investigations following the proposed fund.

Blanche has responded by offering detailed documentation and proposing an independent oversight body to monitor fund disbursements and ensure compliance with tax laws.

The outcome of this standoff will determine whether Blanche can assume the AG role and whether the $1.8 billion initiative proceeds, impacting both Treasury operations and the political landscape.
