Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said Friday she will vote against Todd Blanche’s nomination to be attorney general, narrowing President Trump’s path to installing his pick atop the Justice Department. She said the country needs an attorney general who will check the worst impulses of this administration, and she lacks confidence that Blanche can do that. Murkowski cited the Epstein files and Trump’s tax immunity deal in explaining her opposition, according to Fortune. With Murkowski opposed, the focus now shifts to Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, whose vote has not been declared and is seen as decisive in Blanche’s confirmation.
