経済 · Cornyn blocks $1.8B fund · アーカイブコーニン、ティリスが司法省の譲歩を書面で勝ち取り、ブランシュの人事案が12対10で前進執筆 2026年9月7日 21:22 UTC視聴文字起こし0:00The Senate Judiciary Committee advanced0:02Todd Blanche's Attorney General0:03nomination on Tuesday, but only after a0:06holdout Republican Senator extracted0:08written concessions that dismantled two0:10of the most contentious features of the0:12Justice Department Blanche would0:13inherit. The acting Attorney General0:15published a written order on Sunday0:17permanently rescinding the nearly $1.80:19billion fund, a fund created as part of0:22a DOJ settlement ending Donald Trump's0:24$10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over0:27leaked tax returns. The Sunday order0:29satisfied Senator John Cornyn of Texas,0:32one of two Republicans who had been0:33blocking the nomination. He agreed to0:35vote yes only after the termination was0:37put in writing and made permanent. On0:39Tuesday, the Judiciary Committee0:41advanced Blanche's nomination. Cornyn0:43also demanded a second written assurance0:45addressing the same settlement. Blanche0:47issued a statement narrowing the tax0:49audit immunity to Trump and his family0:51affiliates are no longer covered. These0:53three figures reached a private deal0:54that cleared the nomination.1:04Cornyn laid out his reasoning before the1:06committee vote. He framed his support in1:09institutional terms. We need a1:10stabilizing force at the Department of1:12Justice. The Department of Justice does1:14not need a temporary unconfirmed nominee1:17as our nation's top law enforcement1:18officer. He added that President Trump1:20needs someone in this role as well with1:22a strong legal mind, but who also is1:24close enough to him to give him1:26confidential legal advice to tell him1:27hard truths.1:29The full Senate is expected to vote1:30within days. The written assurances1:33satisfied Cornyn. They have not yet been1:35tested against Democratic objections or1:37the question of whether a written1:39rescission can survive a future1:40administration that might revive the1:42fund.記事を読むストーリーの時系列HeyDexショート動画 ↗
