Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general was on thin ice when Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, reached out with a plea.
TL;DR
- Senator Chuck Grassley contacted Todd Blanche regarding his attorney general nomination.

- Blanche had previously stated at his hearing that the fund would not proceed.
