Trump’s US$1.8 billion ‘weaponisation’ fund is on hold, sources say

US President Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion fund to compensate victims of alleged government 'weaponisation' has been put on hold, according to two sources. The fund originated from a legal settlement between Trump and the Justice Department to resolve a lawsuit where Trump sued the Internal Revenue Service for $10 billion over the alleged mishandling of his tax records.
