Trump administration retreats on 'Anti-Weaponization Fund'
President Donald Trump is retreating from a $1.8 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' amid backlash from Republicans. The Justice Department will halt payouts after a court temporarily blocked the fund, which is linked to stalled immigration legislation. Trump discussed the issue with Speaker Mike Johnson, while Senate leaders indicated the fund would need restrictions for legislative progress.
