NewzUS President Donald Trump has stated he may temporarily drop his bid to permanently appoint his former personal lawyer, Todd Blanche, as US attorney general. The announcement follows a decision by a Senate committee to delay a vote on the nomination amid concerns from dissenting Republicans.
A key Republican senator stated the vote was postponed because they had not yet received information regarding an "anti-weaponisation" fund. In response to the legislative friction, Trump indicated he has no objection to pulling Blanche's name from consideration until the dissenting Republicans are out of office.
