President Donald Trump said he is open to the possibility of temporarily withdrawing Todd Blanche’s nomination as attorney general amid opposition from two Republican senators, suggesting he could renominate his pick after those lawmakers departed office.

Trump’s comments come amid a delay in the confirmation process for Blanche, currently serving as the acting attorney general, to take the role on a permanent basis.

Republican Senators Thom Tillis of North Carolina and John Cornyn of Texas are demanding written guarantees that plans for a $1.8 billion fund to pay victims of alleged government weaponization are being scrapped. They also want assurances that a provision in a legal settlement giving Trump, members of his family and his businesses immunity from past Internal Revenue Service audits would not apply to third parties. Trump reached a settlement with the IRS over leaks of his tax information in 2019.

President Donald Trump said the US would strike back at Iran after a recent attack that targeted a military base in Jordan, as the war in the Middle East flared up once again following a recent pause in hostilities.

“We’ll be hitting them hard,” Trump said in a phone interview, Fox News reported Wednesday, adding that “they’re going to get a beating.”

The comments sent oil surging back above $90 a barrel. A days-long halt to strikes ended Tuesday night after US forces said they were targeted by Iran — in what Trump called a “surprise attack” — while Iran’s state-run IRIB News said the US struck a location in the country’s West Azerbaijan province. 

Iranian media said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted a base in Jordan in response to “aggressive US actions,” without giving details.

US President Donald Trump welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House Tuesday as the US leader sought to avoid renewed bombing in Iran and instead laid the ground for further diplomacy after both sides paused tit-for-tat strikes.

“I think we have a very strong position right now,” Trump told Fox News on Tuesday. He reiterated his threat to bomb Iran’s major bridges if no agreement can be reached, but added “if I can avoid doing that, I’d like to do that.”

Trump’s comments came four days after the US ended roughly two weeks of strikes on the Islamic Republic. Hostilities had resumed when peace negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz broke down. In turn, Iran paused retaliatory fire on Gulf states.
