Acting AG Todd Blanche has officially killed a $1.8 billion political ally compensation fund, ending weeks of tense negotiations with key Republican senators who were blocking his nomination. The move, confirmed by Senator Cornyn’s office, comes ahead of a crucial Senate Judiciary Committee vote and follows Blanche’s earlier stance that the Justice Department would not proceed — especially after concerns emerged that January 6 rioters might qualify. Though Trump continues to back the fund and even hinted at resubmitting Blanche’s nomination after senators retire, the DOJ’s order makes it crystal clear: no funds moved, no claims process, no payments ever made — the fund is dead.
