Blanche is set to return to Capitol Hill as Trump reconsiders plans for his $1.8 billion fund

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is returning to Capitol Hill as the Trump administration pauses a controversial $1.8 billion fund aimed at compensating allies of President Donald Trump who claim unjust investigations or prosecutions. The fund, facing Republican backlash and legal challenges, includes provisions that could allow payouts to individuals involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, prompting lawmakers to demand restrictions or cancellation.
