Trump reiterated his support for Blanche, a former personal lawyer, insisting he wants to keep in place a DOJ arrangement that he says would shield him and family members from certain investigations. The prospect of pulling Blanche’s nomination underscores a broader battle over how far lawmakers can constrain investigators examining the Trump orbit, with GOP lawmakers pressing for tighter controls on the immunity deal as part of the confirmation process. The White House stressed that the president’s decision will reflect strategic considerations about policy and party unity ahead of the upcoming confirmation vote.
