Jan. 6 police officers sue Trump over $1.77B ‘taxpayer-funded slush fund’

Two U.S. Capitol police officers sued the Trump administration to block a $1.776 billion fund intended to compensate individuals claiming to be victims of judicial weaponization, arguing the fund would enable and finance pro-Trump rioters from the Jan. 6 attack. The officers allege the fund, created by the Justice Department, gives Trump and his acting Attorney General near-total control over payments and could facilitate further violence.
