In final reports before Trump claimed (as if the President is passive in such matters) that he had no objection to pulling the nomination, Cornyn made it clear that the part of the settlement that immunized Trump for his tax crimes was a problem too.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Hours before Mr. Trump posted, Mr. Cornyn told reporters that he believed \u201chigher-ups at the White House\u201d were blocking efforts to reach a deal to modify the settlement in Mr. Trump\u2019s lawsuit against the I.R.S.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Cornyn said he had sent a proposal to the Justice Department that included limits on a provision in the settlement protecting Trump from I.R.S. audits, a guarantee he said he needed before voting to advance Mr. Blanche\u2019s confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought we were pretty close to landing the plane last night,\u201d Mr. Cornyn said. \u201cBut this morning there\u2019s been some more complications.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>David Kurtz does some <a href=\"https:\/\/talkingpointsmemo.com\/morning-memo\/is-john-cornyn-playing-us-all-for-fools-in-the-todd-blanche-nomination-fight\">important analysis<\/a> of the public statements about Cornyn\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>If the reporting on Cornyn\u2019s demands is correct, then Trump, Don Jr., Eric, and their company still get the $100 million gift from the President\u2019s own administration to himself. And locking that in has the political (though not legal) effect of Senate Republicans publicly ratifying the corrupt bargain by voting to confirm Blanche.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That is, Cornyn\u2019s demands are an attempt to make this legally sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>Those who emphasize that Blanche can continue to serve are correct. But I think the temporary surrender is important for a few legal reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Blanche <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.dcd.291779\/gov.uscourts.dcd.291779.23.0.pdf\">has to turn over<\/a> Epstein documents to Judge Emmet Sullivan today, and that could reveal damning new details on Blanche\u2019s cover-up. But I\u2019m more sanguine than others: Sullivan is not demanding action on the most important of Katie Phang\u2019s asks, the privilege index explaining every redaction.<\/p>\n<p>Pulling Blanche\u2019s nomination means the submissions that Judge Arun Subramanian required will be litigated before the Senate reconsiders his nomination \u2014 Sean Buckley <a href=\"https:\/\/emptywheel.net\/2026\/07\/25\/sean-buckley-buys-time-for-his-bosses\/\">did buy enough time<\/a> for Jay Clayton to be confirmed, but not for Blanche. And that could matter, not least because Subramanian was already considering sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>But the potentially biggest impact is in the lawsuits about the Terrorist Slush Fund. In Floyd (the <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.vaed.596617\/gov.uscourts.vaed.596617.1.0_1.pdf\">lawsuit in Virginia<\/a> by people targeted by Blanche\u2019s own politicized DOJ), Trump tried to get rid of the lawsuit by claiming that Blanche had promised under oath saying it was gone.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Subsequent events underscore that the Fund will not move forward, mooting any concern of the Court or Plaintiffs that the Acting Attorney General\u2019s prior comments were \u201cnot under oath\u201d and thus could not be afforded the presumption of regularity. As Acting Attorney General testified, under oath, at his Senate Confirmation hearing on July 15, 2026, the Fund \u201cis a moot issue, meaning there is no weaponization fund. The weaponization fund is dead, it\u2019s not moving forward.\u201d Senate Judiciary Committee, Nomination Hearing of the Honorable Tood Blanche to be Attorney General of the United States (\u201cNomination Hearing\u201d), at 1:26:42\u2013:49. When pressed further, he emphasized, \u201cthe settlement fund is just not moving forward there\u2019s no modification it\u2019s just it never started no money went from the Treasury to any other account there\u2019s no commissioners it\u2019s not moving forward.\u201d Id. at 1:27:12\u2013:22. Later in the same hearing, he reiterated, \u201cI\u2019m under oath today, and I\u2019ve said it\u2019s dead repeatedly.\u201d Id. at 2:30:44-:53<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cornyn\u2019s resistance has shown, no matter how performatively, that Congress doesn\u2019t believe Blanche\u2019s representations.<\/p>\n<p>And in the primary challenge to Trump\u2019s lawsuit, before Judge Kathleen Williams, her <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.flsd.706172\/gov.uscourts.flsd.706172.106.0_2.pdf\">opinion<\/a> focused closely on the legal problem with the Attorney General deciding whose tax crimes will and will not be prosecuted.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>On that same day, Acting Attorney General Blanche issued an \u201corder\u201d (the \u201cRelease Order\u201d) which referenced the \u201csettlement agreement\u201d and released the President, his relatives, companies, and affiliates from \u201cany and all claims, counterclaims, [and] causes of actions\u201d that \u201chave been or could have been asserted\u201d against Plaintiffs that arise out of \u201c(1) any matters that were raised or could have been raised in the Case or the Pending Agency Claims; (2) Lawfare and\/or Weaponization; (3) any matters currently pending or that could be pending (including tax returns filed before the Effective Date) before Defendants or other agencies or departments.\u201d15 Unlike the \u201csettlement agreement,\u201d which was signed by purported representatives of both Plaintiffs and Defendants, only Acting Attorney General Blanche\u2019s signature was on the Release Order. 16 Also on that day, it was reported that IRS officials had prepared a 25-page memorandum17 that outlined major flaws with Plaintiffs\u2019 claims and listed the various defenses that could be advanced on behalf of Defendants, defenses that had been raised in other litigation arising from the disclosures.18<\/p>\n<p>On June 2, 2026, in testimony before the United States House of Representatives, Acting Attorney General Blanche advised that the Anti-Weaponization Fund would not be moving forward.19 He did not, however, commit to a similar termination of the audit and immunity protections set forth in his Release Order. Six days later, President Trump nominated Mr. Blanche to permanently serve as Attorney General of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>17 Andrew Duehren, The IRS Thought It Could Fight Trump\u2019s Lawsuit, but It Reached a Deal Anyway, N.Y. TIMES (May 19, 2026), https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/05\/19\/admin\/irs-trump-lawsuit-deal.html. The actual memorandum has yet to be published by the Government.<\/p>\n<p>18 The Court notes that in a subsequent response to a Freedom of Information Act request by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, the DOJ stated that there were no \u201cresponsive records within the Civil Division pertaining to [this litigation].\u201d Letter from Brian Flannigan, Div. Couns. for Recs. &amp; Info., Civ. Div., U.S. Dep\u2019t of Just., to Kayvan Farchadi, Citizens for Resp. &amp; Ethics in Wash. (June 3, 2026).<\/p>\n<p>[snip]<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the Release Order, signed only by Acting Attorney General Blanche, extends a blanket grant of immunity to all Plaintiffs and their families and \u201caffiliates,\u201d and precludes all \u201ccurrent or possible\u201d investigations or actions before any other agencies or departments.50 The Release Order also purports to bar the IRS from conducting any future tax audits of President Trump, his sons, and their entities.51 This provision directly contravenes 26 U.S.C. \u00a7 7217, titled \u201cProhibition on executive branch influence over taxpayer audits and other investigations,\u201d which states:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">It shall be unlawful for any applicable person to request, directly or indirectly, any officer or employee of the Internal Revenue Service to conduct or terminate an audit or other investigation of any particular taxpayer with respect to the tax liability of such taxpayer.<\/p>\n<p>26 U.S.C. \u00a7 7217(a).<\/p>\n<p>The explicit text of this statute prohibits President Trump and his lawyers\u2014one of whom was former White House Counsel\u2014from asking for or promoting termination of an audit directed toward him.52 And acquiescing to any such demand is wholly incompatible with the duties of DOJ attorneys (as well as CEO Bisignano for the IRS) to enforce the law and protect the public interest.<\/p>\n<p>52 This proviso of the \u201csettlement\u201d also raises the question of whether the agreement violates Article II, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, which directs that the President \u201cshall take [c]are that the Laws be faithfully executed[.]\u201d U.S. CONST. art. II, \u00a7 3.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><em>There is a legal problem<\/em><\/strong> with any decision to rewrite the tax provision. Several of them, actually, since Blanche\u2019s memo didn\u2019t include buyoff from the purported parties to the lawsuit. Any changes would reopen the legal question, would provide amici in that case to revisit Blanche\u2019s unlawful tax crimes.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Kathleen Williams effectively said that Blanche and Trump, in tandem, had violated the one law that names the President specifically <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/26\/7217\">26 USC 7217<\/a>. Any change to the unlawful immunity provision would repeat the crime after both men were put on notice that it was a crime.<\/p>\n<p>I suspect the White House may not have been able to placate Cornyn not because they weren\u2019t willing to, but because they couldn\u2019t find a way to do so that would not expose Trump and Todd to further legal exposure (which may be why Cornyn thinks a Trump advisor is the one holding this up: because Trump still has advisors to try to limit the ways in which he can be held legally accountable for his crimes).<\/p>\n<p>Still, pulling Blanche\u2019s nomination leaves things unsettled. And, particularly with an election in which Talarico and Cooper are currently ahead in polls, you never do know where unsettled things could settle.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As John Cornyn, with the backing of Thom Tillis, insisted on the tiniest fragment of integrity, Trump has announced that, \u201cI have no objection to temporarily withdrawing [Todd Blanche\u2019] name [from consideration for the full time job of Attorney General], if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":360651,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181964,181962,181963,181965,181966,181967,181968,136364,172550],"tags":[181969,76857,23089,27741,18683,91381,87827,181970,143114,12852,7356,181973,181971,21056,181972,1175],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-360650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arun-subramanian","category-financial-fraud","category-january-6-insurrection","category-john-cornyn","category-kathleen-williams","category-leonie-brinkema","category-thom-tillis","category-todd-blanche","category-weaponized-doj","tag-arun-subramanian","tag-blanche","tag-confirmation","tag-crimes","tag-decides","tag-hed","tag-john-cornyn","tag-kathleen-williams","tag-leonie-brinkema","tag-rewards","tag-tax","tag-terrorists","tag-thom-tillis","tag-todd","tag-todd-blanche","tag-trump"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
