Prison to Pardons to Payouts: Jan. 6 Rioters Are Elated at Trump’s $1.8 Billion Fund
A new fund established by former President Trump could provide financial payouts to individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riot. If all participants claim the fund, each could receive approximately $1.125 million. This initiative is part of Trump's broader efforts to reshape the narrative surrounding the events of January 6.
- ▪The fund amounts to $1.8 billion and is aimed at supporting Trump's allies.
- ▪If all of the January 6 participants sought money from the fund, the payouts would be around $1.125 million each.
- ▪This development represents a significant twist in the ongoing discourse about the Capitol riot.
