At a Senate hearing, Jack Reed asks Todd Blanche to ensure none of the money goes to anyone convicted over the January 6th attack on Congress. Blanche won't commit. He says unnamed commissioners will decide, that he or the Attorney General will name them, and that he has "no idea" whether President Trump will suggest who sits on the commission.

Will you ensure that none of this money goes to anyone convicted on the January 6th attack on the Congress? Well, the commissioners will determine who is eligible to receive the money. And who are the commissioners? They're not named yet. Who will name them? I will, or the attorney general will. It's not me. So with the suggestion of the President of the United States. Excuse me? With the suggestion of the American of the President of the United States, your boss. I do not make suggestions. I will no no commission he will make suggestions to you I had I have no idea if we will or not I Really don't have no idea if he will or not I'm I Would be shocked if he didn't tell you exactly who to put on and I'd be more shocked if you did not put them on
