Trump says he may withdraw Blanche nomination 'temporarily'

President Donald Trump said Thursday that he is open to temporarily withdrawing his nomination of Todd Blanche as U.S. attorney general.

The GOP plan was to advance the attorney general nominee ahead of the Senate’s upcoming recess. That plan, at least for now, lies in tatters.

Trump threatens to pull Todd Blanche's nomination as Cornyn and Tillis stall confirmation, saying he can renominate later.

President Donald Trump floated the possibility of temporarily withdrawing Todd Blanche’s nomination as attorney general amid opposition from two Republican senators, suggesting he could renominate his pick after those lawmakers departed office.
