Trump’s Weaponization Fund Dies in Senate Standoff | Lubbock News

Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description

Trump’s $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund is officially dead — at least on paper — after he declared it canceled at Camp David, though he still defends its intent to compensate January 6 defendants. But two key Republican senators are holding up his AG nominee, Todd Blanche, demanding written proof of the fund’s demise and clarity on a separate tax immunity deal for Trump and family. Despite Justice Department backing and positive talks, the White House remains reluctant to sign off in writing, forcing Senate Judiciary to delay Blanche’s confirmation until August — all while senators insist on full transparency before they’ll move forward.
