President Trump is locked in a high-stakes battle with Senator John Cornyn over his Attorney General nominee, with Trump refusing to simply override the impasse through executive action. Instead, Trump has gone on the offensive against Cornyn, tying the AG nomination fight to broader grievances and Texas primary politics. The dispute centers on Trump's defense of his Anti-Weaponization Fund and his refusal to capitulate to what he views as petty obstruction from within his own party.
