Trump says he's open to delaying Blanche nomination over GOP defectors
President Trump said Thursday that he would have "no objection" to temporarily withdrawing acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination until his Republican opponents are out of office next January. The big picture: Trump's threat, directed at GOP Sens. Thom Tillis (N.C.) and John Cornyn (Texas), puts Blanche's critics on notice to what the president deemed "the right thing" after their concerns stalled his nomination. Driving the news: "Todd Blanche is a STAR," Trump wrote of his former personal attorney turned Justice Department loyalist. He added that Blanche would "remain, in any event, as Acting." This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

Iran war shows China role in setting the price of oil
