11:16Now PlayingGOP Sen. Bill Cassidy said Friday that he will support Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general, clearing the way for his narrow confirmation to the high-profile role.
The Louisiana Republican’s decision comes after weeks of scrutiny of Blanche’s actions that had thrown his candidacy into doubt, and will hand a major victory to President Donald Trump and his senior aides.
