President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to “push hard” to keep a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund active, amid an ongoing feud between two Republican senators and the Trump administration over the president’s nomination of Todd Blanche for attorney general.

“If Senators Cornyn and Tillis, both upset because I wouldn’t Endorse them (they lost, and quit, respectively!), aren’t going to approve Todd Blanche, one of the most respected professionals, according to everybody, in the Country, to be the United States Attorney General, then I will keep Todd as Acting A.G., and push hard to get the Anti-Weaponization Bill, which takes care of those who have been so badly treated by the Crooked Joe Biden (and Obuma!) Administration (I get nothing, although I was treated horribly!), PASSED,” the president wrote in a post on Truth Social.

“Todd Blanche was a voice of reason! It will immediately be back on the table, and I will get it done.

John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., are both departing Congress after feuding with Trump.
