President Trump said Thursday that he would have "no objection" to temporarily withdrawing acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination until his Republican opponents are out of office next January.The big picture: Trump's threat, directed at GOP Sens. Thom Tillis (N.C.) and John Cornyn (Texas), puts Blanche's critics on notice to what the president deemed "the right thing" after their concerns stalled his nomination.Driving the news: "Todd Blanche is a STAR," Trump wrote of his former personal attorney turned Justice Department loyalist.He added that Blanche would "remain, in any event, as Acting."Cornyn had demanded a written guarantee that the administration's controversial "anti-weaponization fund" was dead.What they're saying: "POTUS is mistaken if he believes concerns about the provisions in his tax lawsuit settlement are limited to me and Senator Tillis," Cornyn, who has broken from the president since losing his re-election primary bid to a Trump-backed challenger, quickly responded in a post on X.Reality check: Even if the president withdrew his name, Blanche could retain the vast power of the nation's chief law enforcement officer in an acting capacity, as he has since this spring.This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
