If the Senate Judiciary Committee reports Todd Blanche's nomination to be U.S. Attorney General to the full Senate after Issuance and before Aug 1, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
Only reporting from any of the Source Agencies qualifies for the purposes of this market. Reports that merely reference prior publications (from before Issuance) do not qualify. Republishing of content originally produced by other sources (e.g., wire services) only qualifies if the content is hosted on the outlet's official platform and the outlet is clearly identified as the publishing entity.
