GOP senators keep wary as DOJ tiptoes away from ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund’
The Justice Department retreated slightly from its $1.8 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund,' but Republican senators remain unconvinced, urging President Donald Trump to explicitly renounce the fund. The fund's potential use to pay participants in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack and other Trump allies has stalled GOP immigration enforcement legislation, with senators demanding clearer assurances.
