Blanche Kills Billion-Dollar Trump Ally Fund | Tulsa News
Description
Acting AG Todd Blanche has officially killed a $1.8 billion fund meant to pay Trump allies — a move that clears the way for his confirmation after Republican senators demanded proof it was shut down. The fund, tied to an IRS settlement and criticized for potentially compensating those prosecuted for crimes including January 6th participants, had stalled Blanche’s nomination until he delivered written termination. Now, with no money ever transferred and no claims processed, the Justice Department confirms the fund is dead — and any past audit immunity doesn’t extend to future filings. This political victory underscores how pressure from key senators can force decisive action.
