Trump Critics Eye Broad $1.8B 'Anti-Weaponisation' Fund for Claims

After the Justice Department unveiled an $1.8 billion 'Anti-Weaponisation Fund' as part of a settlement over Trump’s tax-return leak, high-profile critics like Michael Cohen and James Comey say they may file claims, arguing the fund could compensate those targeted for political reasons. The fund is described as broadly eligible and overseen by five appointees, prompting bipartisan debate about who qualifies and how funds will be allocated, while the settlement bars Trump and his family from payouts.
