Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche moved closer to Senate confirmation Sunday after formally rescinding a controversial $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization fund" and narrowing tax protections included in President Donald Trump’s IRS settlement.

John Cornyn, R-Texas, confirmed an agreement had been reached after Cornyn and Sen.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on the nomination Tuesday.

"My team and I have met with committee members and Senators over the past several weeks and addressed any concerns or outstanding questions," Blanche said in a statement on Sunday.
