Blanche kills Trump fund but leaves legal loose ends
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche rescinded the order establishing President Trump's $1.776 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund to resolve a Republican blockade of his confirmation. The fund originated from a May settlement involving Trump's lawsuit against the IRS over tax records, which included an apology and protections for Trump and his family. The settlement's terms remain unresolved, requiring a written agreement for changes, and Trump has threatened to revive the fund if confirmed.
