Trump defends fund to pay ‘great American Patriots’ who attacked the US Capitol to overturn an election
President Donald Trump defended his $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' settlement fund, which he claims compensates individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol attack. Two Republican senators, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, withheld support for Trump's attorney general nominee, Todd Blanche, until the fund is formally ended.
