Capitol Police Sue to Stop $1.776B Settlement Fund
Description
Two Capitol police officers, injured during the January 6th attack, are suing to halt a $1.776 billion settlement fund, fearing it may compensate rioters who assaulted them. They deem the fund, established from a tax return leak lawsuit settlement, an illegal slush fund, accusing it of financing violent groups aligned with a political figure. The officers, who face ongoing threats, argue the fund exacerbates their danger, as a five-member commission, appointed by the acting attorney general, decides payouts. The attorney general defends the fund, dismissing criticism as fake outrage, despite acknowledging harm to law enforcement. The lawsuit targets the acting attorney general and Treasury Secretary.
