Scoop: Trump plans to drop "weaponization" fund
The Trump administration plans to abandon its $1.8 billion 'weaponization' fund aimed at compensating alleged victims of prosecutorial conduct under a previous administration, according to two senior officials. The proposal, criticized as a political slush fund potentially accessible to those involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol assault, faced bipartisan opposition in Congress.
