Justice Department attorney asks court to dismiss anti-weaponization fund challenge

A Justice Department attorney asked a court to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s anti-weaponization fund, arguing the fund is non-operational and no money has been transferred. The lawsuit, led by Andrew Floyd and organizations like National Abortion Federation, alleges the fund could enable payouts to individuals involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Judge Leonie Brinkema has blocked the fund but awaits declarations from officials denying its implementation.
