Federal judge extends block on Trump administration's $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund.
U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema extended an injunction blocking the Trump administration from creating or operating a $1.776 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund.' The judge rejected the Justice Department's claim that the case was moot, citing the administration's refusal to rescind the fund in writing under penalty of perjury and President Trump's continued public support for the concept. A separate federal judge in Washington, D.C., declined to issue a similar block, accepting the government's representation that the fund would not proceed.
