Trump Justice Fund Scrapped
Description
The Trump administration has officially scrapped its $1.8 billion fund meant to compensate allies allegedly targeted by the Justice Department, a move confirmed by top DOJ official Blanche amid fierce political backlash. Originally tied to a tax return lawsuit settlement, the fund sparked outrage across the aisle — especially from Democrats who threatened to block legislation unless it was killed. Concerns over eligibility, including potential payouts to January 6 defendants, fueled the controversy. While the fund is dead, Blanche insists the DOJ was weaponized and is still working to fix it — a claim Attorney General Merrick Garland denies, insisting his office operates on facts, not politics. The fight over DOJ’s past conduct? Far from over.
