Judge blocks Trump’s $1.8B anti-weaponisation fund, demands sworn denial to proceed

A federal judge extended a temporary injunction against a proposed $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponisation' fund linked to Trump's IRS tax-return lawsuit, ordering the administration to provide sworn confirmation within a week that the fund will not go forward. Although officials had signaled abandonment, the court said verbal statements were insufficient. The fund would have been managed by a five-member commission to pay claims by those deemed victims of 'lawfare' and 'weaponisation,' a plan that raised concerns about potential payouts to some Capitol riot defendants.
