Johnson dodges question on Jan. 6 rioters’ eligibility for Trump’s new Anti-Weaponization Fund
TL;DR Summary
Johnson refused to say whether individuals convicted for Jan. 6 would be eligible for payouts from the $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund, part of a Trump settlement over the IRS leak; payouts will be determined by a yet-to-be-named commission overseen by the attorney general, a point of skepticism from Republicans and Democrats alike, with the DOJ defending the fund as redressing victims of ‘lawfare.’
