Episode Details

Acting AG Todd Blanche has officially killed a $1.8 billion fund meant to pay political allies, ending weeks of Senate negotiations and shutting down concerns it could have included payments to January 6th Capitol riot participants. The Justice Department rescinded the original order, clarifying the fund is dead and will never move forward — a move that satisfied two key Republican senators who had blocked Blanche’s confirmation until written assurances were given. The order also narrows Trump family tax immunity to only existing claims, not future filings. Despite Trump’s public push for the fund and even threats to resubmit Blanche’s nomination after senators left office, this final decision brings the controversial chapter to a close.
