Blanche rescinds Trump ‘anti-weaponization’ fund, removing hurdle from attorney general nominee’s confirmation

Todd Blanche rescinds Donald Trump's $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund, addressing concerns from Republican senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis who opposed his attorney general nomination. The fund, created through an IRS settlement, would have provided taxpayer money to claimants alleging federal government weaponization, including January 6 riot participants. A revised order limits the settlement's scope to past tax investigations and terminates the fund permanently.
