‘Outright theft’: legal experts decry $1.8bn Trump anti-weaponization fund
A $1.776 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund launched by the 2026 Trump administration Department of Justice, ostensibly to compensate people harmed by alleged 'lawfare' under the Biden administration, has drawn widespread bipartisan criticism and multiple legal challenges. Critics decry the fund as a corrupt slush fund that would benefit January 6 insurrectionists, block IRS investigations into Trump and his family, and violate the rule of law; as of June 2026, a federal court has temporarily halted the fund's operations, and bipartisan congressional efforts are underway to block it entirely.
