The Senate Judiciary Committee postponed a planned Thursday vote on acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination after Republican Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina refused to commit their support.

Cornyn and Tillis are demanding written assurances from the DOJ that a nearly $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund — created as part of a settlement resolving Trump's lawsuit against the IRS — is formally dead and cannot be revived.

Cornyn said he sent the DOJ a redlined version of the settlement language outlining the changes he required, but told reporters he had not received a responsive written proposal. "Maybe they think they can roll me," he told CNN, adding emphatically that they could not.

The DOJ said it had been in regular communication with committee members for weeks and provided an updated written proposal to the senators Wednesday, though Cornyn said he had not seen anything responsive to his requests.

Trump, speaking in the Oval Office Wednesday, called Blanche "outstanding" and dismissed the confirmation delay, suggesting Cornyn's opposition may stem from Trump's decision to endorse Cornyn's primary rival, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who defeated Cornyn in May.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he had hoped a deal could be reached before the Senate's August recess, set to begin Aug. 7, and encouraged the Trump administration to resolve the standoff with Cornyn and Tillis so the nomination could advance.
