Durbin warns DOJ against compensating ‘rioters’ in ‘anti-weaponization’ fund

Sen. Dick Durbin is opposing the Department of Justice's plan to distribute compensation from a $1.776 billion fund to people claiming legal system weaponization, including alleged January 6 Capitol rioters. Durbin, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, is pushing back against the DOJ's willingness to provide these payouts.
