WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader John Thune is feeling upbeat about the chances of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Director of National Intelligence nominee Jay Clayton getting confirmed ahead of their hearings Wednesday. Blanche was at the center of a GOP revolt last month over the since-scrapped DOJ $1. 776 billion weaponization fund, and Clayton’s confirmation was derailed after Trump demanded his pick to succeed the prosecutor at the Manhattan US Attorney’s Office be approved first, allowing Bill Pulte to serve as acting DNI.
