Summary
Two overnight social media posts give Hawk plenty to work with. First, Donald Trump's lengthy Truth Social message defending the roughly 1.78 billion dollar settlement fund at the center of Todd Blanche's stalled confirmation, and attacking Senator John Cornyn for holding it up. Hawk's key point: by insisting in his own words that the fund is still very much alive and that he intends to compensate the January 6th defendants he pardoned, Trump effectively confirms that Blanche's sworn testimony calling it dead was false.
