Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announces DOJ will not move forward with $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told the House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday that the Justice Department is abandoning plans for a $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund. The fund, created as part of a settlement with President Trump over a lawsuit regarding the leak of his tax returns, faced bipartisan opposition in Congress. A federal judge had temporarily blocked the fund, and Republican lawmakers had stalled immigration enforcement funding over concerns it could benefit Jan. 6 rioters.
