Pence denounces Trump's $1.8B 'lawfare' fund as offensive, urges it be dropped
TL;DR
Former Vice-President Mike Pence slammed the Trump administration's $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponisation' or 'lawfare' fund to compensate people alleging unfair treatment under prior administrations, calling it 'deeply offensive' and saying it should be dropped; the fund, tied to a DoJ settlement with Trump over leaked tax records, could be used by some who were prosecuted for the January 6 Capitol riot, drawing criticism from both parties and prompting a temporary judicial pause.
