DOJ official weighed tapping Trump’s 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' before stepping back

Patrick Davis, the Justice Department’s top official for congressional affairs, reportedly planned to file a claim with Donald Trump’s controversial ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund’ and asked to recuse himself over a potential conflict; the move alarmed colleagues as the fund faced backlash and was ultimately described as dead by acting AG Todd Blanche. Davis’s background—longtime Grassley aide and prior records subpoenas related to the Russiagate probe—provided context for concerns about his involvement and recusal.
