Senate Judiciary Committee advances Blanche's nomination for attorney general

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : The Justice Department also had agreed to grant Mr. Trump immunity from IRS audits and investigations related to prior tax returns.
54% : But late Sunday, following weeks of negotiations with the senators, Blanche issued a new order that rescinded his initial directive creating the "anti-weaponization" fund and clarified that the immunity provision covers only potential audits of previous years' tax returns and applies only to Mr. Trump, his two oldest sons and the Trump Organization.
46% : The Justice Department's acknowledgement of the limits of the tax immunity deal addresses concerns from multiple GOP colleagues, the two senators said.
35% : The concerns from Tillis and Cornyn over the program and a sweeping deal to grant the president immunity from tax audits threatened to derail Blanche's nomination.
35% : The order from Blanche does not modify the terms of the settlement agreement that Mr. Trump reached with the IRS in May to resolve a civil lawsuit over the leak of his tax returns by a former government contractor.
22% : "It's just common sense, what Tillis and Cornyn are asking out of the executive branch of government," he said, adding "it's a crime that it took so long" to secure clarifications on the limits of the tax deal.
