Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, says the DOJ has failed to satisfy his concerns about a deal to shield President Donald Trump and others from IRS tax audits.
The Senate Judiciary Committee had been expected to vote Thursday on whether to advance Todd Blanche's nomination. But resistance from two Republican senators threw his confirmation into doubt.
John Cornyn and Thom Tillis accused the nominee for attorney general of refusing to put on paper his promise to kill aspects of the deal he cut to settle President Trump's suit against the agency.
