The Senate Judiciary0:06Committee postponed a key vote today0:07after Senator John Cornyn said he will0:09not support the nomination until he0:11receives a written guarantee that the0:12$1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund is0:15permanently dead. Cornyn, a Texas0:17Republican who lost his primary 71 days0:19ago to a Trump backed challenger and0:21faces no electoral pressure, is an0:23influential voice on the committee.0:25Fellow Republican Tom Tillis is also0:27withholding a firm yes, leaving Blanche0:30short of the support needed. Blanche,0:32the acting Attorney General, testified0:34under oath that the fund is dead, but he0:36admitted it could be revived through a0:38future lawsuit. That contradiction has0:40fueled Cornyn's demand for a binding0:42written commitment. The $1.8 billion0:44fund is at the center of the standoff,0:46and although Blanche says it is dead,0:48his own testimony acknowledged that0:50Trump's lawyers could bring it back in0:51court. With the August recess just days0:54away, the White House has not provided0:56the written assurance, and the vote0:57remains unscheduled. If Cornyn and1:00Tillis don't get what they want, the1:01nomination could stall indefinitely.مضمون پڑھیںخبر کی زمانی ترتیبHeyDexمختصر ویڈیو ↗
