Trump's attorney general nominee Todd Blanche rescinded a controversial $1.8 billion fund for political allies, but his vague letter leaves his confirmation uncertain.

Progressive candidates are challenging Democratic establishment picks in Midwest primaries that could reshape the party's direction and determine midterm control of Congress. Todd Blanche's rescission letter uses present tense and avoids stating the fund was inappropriate, leaving unclear whether he would comply if Trump orders its revival next week.
