- Judge extends block on Trump’s $1.8bn ‘anti-weaponization’ fund
A US federal judge extended a block on the Trump administration’s $1.8bn settlement fund aimed at compensating individuals claiming to be victims of a weaponized government. The fund was created to address a lawsuit against the IRS over leaked tax returns, but the government announced plans to scrap it amid bipartisan backlash, though plaintiffs’ attorneys remain unconvinced.
