Trump administration dumps $1.77B ‘anti-weaponization’ fund

The Trump administration has abandoned a $1.77 billion fund to compensate individuals claiming wrongful prosecution by the Justice Department, a move that may facilitate Senate debate on a $70 billion immigration and deportation funding package. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed the decision, stating the DOJ will not proceed with the fund, which was part of a legal settlement between Trump and the IRS over leaked tax returns.
