Trump Relaunches Push for $1.8B Anti-Weaponization Fund as Senate Confirmation Hurdles Persist
TL;DR
Trump revived his push to codify an $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund' into law after previously calling it dead, threatening to keep Todd Blanche as Acting AG if Congress won't back it; the plan has stalled Blanche's confirmation as Senate Republicans demand a shelved proposal, while the DOJ has signaled it won't move forward with the payments to those targeted by the Biden administration (including Jan. 6 participants and Hunter Biden).
