Humiliated Trump Admits Defeat in Key Battle

Donald Trump has admitted his high-profile pick for attorney general may not have enough support from his own party and floated withdrawing the nomination until he gets enough votes.

In a striking concession on Thursday, the president acknowledged Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s confirmation had run into serious trouble after several Republican senators had yet to back him.
