Trump defends massive settlement for ‘great American Patriots’ of Jan. 6, attacks GOP senators

President Donald Trump defended a $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' settlement fund, claiming it compensates individuals affected by the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, while Republican senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis withheld support for Trump’s attorney general nominee, Todd Blanche, until the fund is formally ended. Trump commuted sentences for 14 Jan. 6 participants and pardoned others, but critics argue the fund improperly benefits those who attacked law enforcement.
