Trump Says He Could Pull Blanche's Attorney General Nomination Until GOP Holdouts Leave President Trump has threatened to withdraw his nominee for acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, unless two Senate Republicans who are withholding their support leave office next year.
This is not an isolated incident but rather the latest manifestation of Trump's penchant for chaos and unpredictability in handling high level appointments.
In 2018, Trump threatened to replace outgoing Attorney General Jeff Sessions with a loyalist before reversing course days later.
