President Donald Trump just spilled the beans on why he won't cave to the demand of GOP senators holding up Todd Blanche's confirmation , MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace said on Friday. "Donald Trump is saying the quiet part out loud today when it comes to exactly why Todd Blanche still has not put an official end to the almost $1.8 million slush fund that could potentially award payouts to January 6th insurrectionists," wrote Wallace — the major holdup of Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Thom Tillis (R-NC), and likely a number of other Republicans in the background . It would only take "the stroke of a pen" for Blanche to just nullify the slush fund formally and get confirmed, said Wallace. "But if there were any lingering open questions as to why he hasn't done that, and where the resistance to doing that lies, Trump solved that mystery for us today." Specifically, she noted, Trump put out a rambling manifesto on his Truth Social platform that revealed he does, in fact, still want the slush fun
