北卡罗来纳州联邦参议员汤姆·蒂利斯（共和党籍）周四无视特朗普总统撤回代理司法部长托德·布兰奇提名的威胁，辩称白宫必须履行他所称的早前为争取他的支持而作出的承诺。
“那是他的权力，”蒂利斯在谈及特朗普撤回布兰奇提名的威胁时说道。
蒂利斯发表此番言论前，特朗普周四上午在真相社交平台上点名批评蒂利斯和德克萨斯州联邦参议员约翰·康恩（共和党籍），指责两人阻挠他让布兰奇出任美国最高检察官的努力。
特朗普随后威胁称，要在这两名共和党参议员明年卸任前撤回布兰奇的提名。蒂利斯即将退休，而康恩在连任初选中落败。

蒂利斯认为，特朗普无法解决此次提名僵局，“除非我们落实此前认定的政府作出的承诺”。
这位北卡罗来纳州参议员一直 withheld 对布兰奇的支持，除非政府同意永久取消近20亿美元的反武器化基金，并在和解协议中重写特朗普的审计豁免条款。针对这些要求的谈判仍在进行中。
“最好的做法是，拿下这场胜利，确认布兰奇的提名，了结这份协议，”蒂利斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
当被问及需要什么条件才能让蒂利斯投票确认布兰奇时，他表示：“就是布兰奇承诺过的那些内容。”

蒂利斯强调，布兰奇不应为此次僵局负责，称他认为布兰奇在确认过程中“态度坦诚”，并将责任归咎于特朗普团队中的某个人。
“这不是布兰奇的问题。在我看来，布兰奇毫不犹豫地作出回应、与我们合作解决此事时，态度是坦诚的，”蒂利斯说道。
“我认为，参与过这份协议谈判的总统顾问中有一人出了问题。他们必须承担责任。”
蒂利斯还指出，无法确定明年参议院会更认可布兰奇，尤其是考虑到参议院中共和党议员面临的选区风险比民主党议员更多。
“最乐观的情况是，明年议员人数不变，而我们的议员对这项提名的支持度不会比今天更高。”

即便特朗普撤回布兰奇的提名，他仍可以让布兰奇担任数月的代理司法部长。《联邦空缺改革法案》允许代理官员任职210天，撤回待决提名会重置该计时周期。如果特朗普周四撤回布兰奇的提名，布兰奇可以继续担任该职位至次年2月底。

尽管特朗普公开发出威胁，蒂利斯表示与政府的谈判仍在继续，并表示他对布兰奇“并非持反对态度”。
“在这个地方，没有什么事情会像表面看起来那样好或那样糟，所以我们会继续谈判，”蒂利斯说道。

WATCH: GOP holdout rejects Trump threat as AG nominee standoff explodes
The North Carolina Republican says the White House must honor a prior commitment before he votes to confirm Blanche

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., brushed aside President Donald Trump’s threat to withdraw acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s nomination Thursday, arguing the White House must instead honor what he says was an earlier commitment to win his vote.
“That’s his prerogative,” Tillis said of Trump’s threat to withdraw Blanche’s nomination.
Tillis’ comments come after Trump called out both Tillis and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, on Truth Social Thursday morning for blocking the president’s efforts to make Blanche the nation’s top prosecutor.
Trump then threatened to pull Blanche’s nomination until the two Republican senators leave office next year. Tillis is retiring, and Cornyn lost his primary in his run for re-election.

Tillis argued Trump cannot resolve this nomination standoff “unless we fulfill what we thought was the commitment from the administration.”
The North Carolina senator has withheld his support for Blanche unless the administration agrees to permanently eliminate the nearly $2 billion anti-weaponization fund and rewrite Trump’s audit immunity language in a settlement agreement. Negotiations over those demands remain ongoing.
“The best thing is, take the win, get Blanche confirmed and get this agreement out of the way,” Tillis told Fox News Digital.
When asked what it would take to get Tillis to vote to confirm Blanche, he said, “exactly what Blanche committed to.”

Tillis stressed that Blanche is not to blame for the impasse, saying he believes he “was honest” during his confirmation process and that he blames someone on Trump’s team.
“This is not Blanche’s problem. It’s clear to me that Blanche was honest when he answered without hesitation, working with us to end this,” Tillis said.
“I believe that one of the president’s advisors who were part of this agreement is the problem. And they need to own it.”
Tillis also pointed out that there is no certainty that the Senate would be any more accepting of Blanche next year, particularly as Republicans have more seats in danger than Democrats in the Senate.
“The best-case scenario is you come back with the same number of people next year, and our members are not going to be any more supportive of this than they are today.”

Trump could still keep Blanche as acting attorney general for months even if he withdraws the nomination. The Federal Vacancies Reform Act allows acting officials to serve for 210 days, and withdrawing a pending nomination resets that clock. If Trump were to pull Blanche’s nomination Thursday, Blanche could remain in the role until late February.

Despite Trump’s public threat, Tillis said negotiations with the administration remain ongoing and said he is “not a no” on Blanche.

“In this place, nothing’s ever as good or as bad as it seems, so we’re continuing to negotiate,” Tillis said.
