Trump says anti-weaponization fund in IRS settlement is 'dead' even as he defends it

President Donald Trump declared his $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund 'dead' while continuing to defend it, complicating negotiations with Republican senators blocking his attorney general nominee until a written commitment to abandon the fund is provided. Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, both Republicans, demand formal assurances the fund will not proceed, citing Trump's conflicting statements and the need to prevent potential reversals.
