Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche cleared a major hurdle in his push to permanently lead the Department of Justice. He reached a deal with two GOP senators who had said they would block his nomination. Blanche put into writing that the DOJ is scrapping a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund that could have provided settlements to the Trump allies, including Jan. 6 rioters. Ali Rogin reports.
