Johnson won't say whether Jan. 6 rioters will be eligible for new ‘lawfare’ fund

Speaker Mike Johnson declined to specify whether Jan. 6 Capitol rioters would be eligible for Trump administration's new $1.8 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund,' citing lack of details about the settlement account. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche similarly refused to clarify eligibility criteria, stating a yet-to-be-named commission would determine payouts. Democrats have criticized the fund as a potential slush fund for presidential allies.
