Trump’s $1.8B 'anti-weaponization' fund stalls as GOP pressure grows

TL;DR Summary
President Trump’s proposed $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund' is stalled amid mounting Republican backlash and court actions. A federal judge temporarily blocked progress and another ordered Trump to respond to fraud claims, as some allies urge scrapping the plan. The fund, meant to compensate people who feel harmed by the Biden DOJ, has been criticized as a slush fund for Trump allies, including some Capitol riot participants. The controversy is complicating immigration legislation as lawmakers return to Capitol Hill, with Trump pushing for a June 1 deadline that many Republicans are reluctant to meet.
