tion Fund  meant to compensate Trump allies.

In a social media post Thursday, Cornyn said the president is  mistaken if he believes concerns about the provisions in his tax lawsuit settlement are limited to me and Senator Tillis. 

Big picture view:

While the Justice Department dropped plans for the  Anti-Weaponization Fund  after bipartisan outrage about the potential of payouts going to violent Jan. 6 rioters, officials have said that another piece of the settlement - granting Trump and members of his family immunity from tax audits - remains in place.

The proposed settlement would  forever  bar the government from scrutinizing or prosecuting Trump, his sons and the Trump Organization's current and past tax examinations.

Cornyn and Tillis have pressed the administration to modify the agreement to make clear that it covers only existing audits and does not protect the president from examination of future tax filings.

With all Democratic senators opposed, just one Republican holdout on the Senate Judiciary Committee could sink Blanche's chances for confirmation. And even if Blanche makes it through the Senate Judiciary Committee, it's unclear if he has enough Republican support to be confirmed by the full chamber.

What happens if Trump pulls Blanche's nomination?

Dig deeper:

If Trump decides to delay Blanche's confirmation until next year, the move would have little impact on the Justice Department. Blanche, who took over as acting AG after Pam Bondi's firing in April, can still lead the agency as either acting attorney general or deputy attorney general, the No. 2 post to which he was confirmed last year.

The deputy attorney general, who oversees the day-to-day operations of the law enforcement agency, can perform the duties of the attorney general if that post is vacant.
