2:29Now PlayingChuck Todd digs into the stalled nomination of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, where Senate Judiciary Republicans scrapped a planned committee vote after John Cornyn and Thom Tillis demanded more assurances about the Justice Department's settlement of Trump's lawsuit against the IRS — a settlement whose key provision effectively shields Trump and others from audits and enforcement actions on tax returns filed before the deal was reached. Chuck argues the settlement was pure self-dealing, that Trump sought blanket immunity on his taxes and cares far more about avoiding audits than he does about getting Blanche confirmed, and that Cornyn and Tillis are essentially jumping on the grenade for Republicans in tough races who don't want to cast this vote at all. With likely fewer Senate Republicans next year, Todd's bottom line is blunt: installing the president's own personal attorney as Attorney General is a bridge too far, and Blanche will probably never be confirmed.
