阿拉斯加州共和党参议员丽莎·默科夫斯基周五表示，她将投票反对托德·布兰奇出任司法部长的提名，这使其获得该职位确认的几率进一步收窄。
默科夫斯基称，所谓的“反武器化基金”是她做出这一决定的一个因素。她认为，这笔18亿美元的基金原本仅在布兰奇的提名悬而未决时才会被撤销，但如果他获得确认，该基金可能会被重新启用。
“国家需要一位能够遏制本届政府最恶劣倾向的司法部长，”默科夫斯基说道，“我希望布兰奇先生若获确认能够做到这一点，但我完全不相信他会这么做。”
由于参议院议员米奇·麦康奈尔缺席，布兰奇无法再失去任何共和党议员的支持票。目前该提名的走向取决于共和党中唐纳德·特朗普总统最突出的批评者之一比尔·卡西迪参议员将如何投票。
这是一则突发新闻，将随后续信息更新。

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said Friday she will vote against Todd Blanche’s nomination to be attorney general, narrowing his chances at confirmation for the role.
Murkowski said the so-called anti-weaponization fund was a factor in her decision, arguing that the $1.8 billion fund — which was only rescinded as Blanche’s nomination was in limbo — could be brought back if he is confirmed.
“The country needs an Attorney General who will check the worst impulses of this administration,” Murkowski said. “I hope Mr. Blanche is able to achieve that, if confirmed, but I simply do not have confidence that will be the case.”
With Sen. Mitch McConnell absent from the Senate, Blanche cannot afford to lose any more Republican votes. The nomination now hinges on how Sen. Bill Cassidy, one of the most prominent GOP critics of President Donald Trump, will vote.
