The Justice Department refused to provide sworn declarations from Trump administration officials pledging not to establish the nearly $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund, arguing such statements are unnecessary and that the fund is not moving forward, even as Acting AG Todd Blanche testified the fund’s creation is not happening and a judge pressed for the declarations to moot the lawsuit.
