Trump's Short-Lived Anti-Weaponization Fund
The Justice Department's anti-weaponization fund, intended to assist victims of government overreach, faced significant opposition from Republicans, leading to its potential discontinuation. A federal judge's ruling paused payments for two weeks, prompting the DOJ to comply rather than appeal. The fund, which was part of a deal involving Trump and the IRS, has not yet begun processing applications or establishing a board, causing discontent among potential beneficiaries and GOP members alike.
