Trump pledges push for payout fund as Blanche remains acting AG
TL;DR Summary
President Trump said he would push hard to pass legislation creating a payout fund for people he says were mistreated by the Obama and Biden administrations, while keeping Todd Blanche as acting attorney general and blasting two GOP senators for opposing his nomination. The move, tied to his anti‑weaponization agenda, has drawn bipartisan skepticism amid concerns it could reward Jan. 6 attackers, with Republicans demanding guarantees the fund won’t move forward and seeking clarity on Trump’s IRS settlement deal.
