Judge temporarily blocks Trump DOJ's nearly $2B 'anti-weaponization' fund

A U.S. judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration's Justice Department from operating a $1.778 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' designed to compensate Americans targeted by federal investigations. The block follows a lawsuit by plaintiffs including a former prosecutor, a professor, and organizations like Common Cause and the National Abortion Federation, who argue the fund could incentivize violence and misuse public funds.
