Trump praised his former personal attorney as "a star" and said he would instead keep Blanche serving as acting attorney general until the senators leave office next year if an agreement cannot be reached. The dispute centers on Republican requests for written guarantees regarding how the Justice Department would manage a fund created to settle Trump's lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service.
