Trump Convenes Cabinet Amid AG Standoff

President Trump held a Cabinet meeting at Camp David while facing a standoff with senators over the confirmation of his attorney general nominee Todd Blanche.

Trump attacked Republican Senator John Cornyn for holding up the nomination and renewed his push for a fund to compensate January 6 defendants, even as he acknowledged the $1.8 billion ‘anti-weaponization fund’ was dead.

The administration increased pressure on the Senate, with officials arguing that Blanche was the best possible choice.

The impasse highlighted ongoing tensions between the White House and GOP lawmakers over the scope of executive power.
