Blanche formally rescinds Trump’s $1.8bn ‘anti-weaponization fund’ ahead of nomination hearing
Acting US attorney general Todd Blanche has formally terminated Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund' to compensate political allies, a move aimed at clearing his nomination as attorney general after opposition from two Republican senators. The justice department had previously resisted confirming the fund’s termination in writing, raising concerns it could be revived.
