美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在戴维营举行的周五内阁会议上，为《反武器化基金》辩护，并抨击得克萨斯州联邦参议员约翰·科宁（共和党）反对他提名代理司法部长托德·布兰奇出任正式司法部长。

两名关键的共和党反叛议员正放弃对特朗普领导司法部提名的抵制。
数周以来，得克萨斯州联邦参议员约翰·科宁（共和党）和北卡罗来纳州联邦参议员汤姆·蒂利斯（共和党）一直坚决反对确认代理司法部长托德·布兰奇正式接任该职位。他们一直试图从政府那里换取让步，以换取他们的投票。
随着布兰奇的首场关键考验日益临近，这些让步于周日敲定。在与特朗普产生争执、布兰奇的提名险些被撤回后，这两名议员如今准备支持总统提名的、以接替前司法部长帕姆·邦迪的人选。

“我们要感谢布兰奇先生及其团队与我们就此展开合作，我们期待不久后就投票支持他在参议院司法委员会的提名推进，”他们在联合声明中说道。
科宁和蒂利斯有两个主要目标：以书面形式明确确保近20亿美元的反武器化基金得以恢复，并确保特朗普的审计豁免权不会超出他本人及其在起诉IRS的诉讼中所列的被告范围。
布兰奇于周日宣布，反武器化基金将被永久取消，而审计保护措施将仅 narrowly tailored（此处保留原文语境，译为“严格限定”）适用于特朗普及其家人。

科宁和蒂利斯表示，他们对司法部（DOJ）处理这两个问题的正式命令感到“满意”，并指出此举解决了“我们多位共和党同僚共同担忧的问题”。
这两个问题均源于特朗普及其家人今年早些时候与IRS达成的和解协议，而布兰奇协助推动了该协议的落实。
鉴于如果两人中任何一人反对提名人选，布兰奇的提名就会失败并陷入停滞，因此这两名议员的支持对于布兰奇获得委员会放行、进入参议院全院投票至关重要。

在这一结果出炉前的几天里，科宁和蒂利斯都与特朗普发生过争执。
特朗普曾扬言，如果两人都不放弃抵制，他就会撤回布兰奇的提名。上周末，他进一步加大了施压力度，宣布如果布兰奇的提名继续受阻或失败，他将恢复反武器化基金，并敦促国会将其写入法律。
他在Truth Social上发文称：“我将让托德继续担任代理司法部长，并全力推动《反武器化法案》在国会获得通过。”
蒂利斯则反驳称，特朗普“显然意图通过不当设立另一个虚假基金，或敦促国会投票通过参议院多数共和党人都会反对的法案，来为捣乱者恢复赔偿基金”。
“不幸的是，我认为符合该职位任职资格的托德·布兰奇，将因这一反转而无法获得确认，”蒂利斯上周末说道。“希望我们能在周二前解决这个问题。”

随着相关问题似乎已得到解决，针对布兰奇的委员会投票正全速推进。
参议院司法委员会主席、爱荷华州联邦参议员查克·格拉斯利（共和党）已取消上周的听证会，将投票改至周二举行。格拉斯利的一名发言人表示，他的首要目标是确保“托德·布兰奇的提名获得成功”。
“格拉斯利希望在八月休会前完成布兰奇的确认程序，因为他在恢复法治和保障美国民众安全方面有着出色的记录，”他说道。

Trump’s AG pick off life support after key Republican rebels relent
August 3, 2026 11:03am EDT / Fox News
Sens Cornyn and Tillis hold the keys to Blanche’s future on the Senate Judiciary Committee
By Alex Miller, Fox News
President Donald Trump defended the Anti-Weaponization Fund and bashed Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, for opposing his nomination of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche as permanent attorney general during his Friday Cabinet meeting at Camp David.

Two key Republican rebels are dropping their resistance against President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Justice Department.
Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., have for weeks dug their heels into the ground against confirming acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to fully take over the position. They have been trying to extract concessions from the administration in exchange for their votes.
And those concessions came on Sunday as Blanche’s first key test fast approaches. After warring with Trump and Blanche’s confirmation nearly being withdrawn, the duo are now ready to support the president’s pick to replace former Attorney General Pam Bondi.

“We want to express our gratitude to Mr. Blanche and his staff for working with us on this, and we look forward to voting to advance his nomination out of the Senate Judiciary Committee soon,” they said in a joint statement.
Cornyn and Tillis had two primary objectives: ensure, in explicit writing, that the nearly $2 billion anti-weaponization fund would return, and that Trump’s audit immunity would not extend beyond him and the defendants listed in his lawsuit against the IRS.
Blanche announced on Sunday that the anti-weaponization fund was getting the permanent boot, and that the audit protection was just going to be narrowly tailored to Trump and his family.

Cornyn and Tillis said that they “are pleased” with the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) formal order to deal with both issues, and noted that doing so addressed “concerns that multiple of our Republican colleagues share.”
Both issues came from the settlement deal Trump and his family reached with the IRS earlier this year that Blanche helped to roll out.
And both lawmakers are needed to advance Blanche out of committee and onto the Senate floor, given that if either one of them balked against the nominee, he would fail and be stuck in limbo.

Cornyn and Tillis both sparred with Trump over the last few days leading up to this moment.
Trump declared that he would withdraw Blanche’s nomination if neither of them broke their resistance. He reupped the pressure over the weekend when he announced that if Blanche’s confirmation continues to stumble or fail, he would revive the anti-weaponization fund and pressure Congress to codify it.
He declared on Truth Social that, “I will keep Todd as Acting AG, and push hard to get the Anti-Weaponization Bill,” passed through Congress.
And Tillis countered that Trump “clearly intends to resurrect the payout pot for punks either by inappropriately establishing another bogus fund or pushing Congress to vote for a bill that the majority of Republicans in the Senate would be against.”
“It’s unfortunate that Todd Blanche, who I consider qualified for the job, will not be confirmed because of this reversal,” Tillis said over the weekend. “Hopefully, we can resolve this by Tuesday.”

With the issues appearing to be resolved, the committee vote on Blanche is moving full steam ahead.
Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, rescheduled the vote for Tuesday after nixing last week’s hearing. A spokesperson for Grassley said that his top goal is to see “Todd Blanche’s nomination to be successful.”
“Grassley would like to see Blanche confirmed before the August recess as he has an excellent record restoring law and order and keeping Americans safe,” they said.
