Controversies that surrounded Todd Blanche included his handling of the release of the Epstein files, the indictment of former FBI director James Comey, and a blocked proposal for a $1.8 billion āanti-weaponizationā fund for mistreated individuals, including those convicted in the January 6 Capitol attack. His nomination to become attorney general was temporarily delayed over the fund and related IRS immunity to members of the Trump family and the Trump Organization. In August 2026, the fund was rescinded and the IRS immunity deal limited, clearing the way for Blancheās Senate approval.
