Capitol Officers sue Trump over $1.8B anti-weaponization fund tied to Jan. 6

Two officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 filed a federal lawsuit accusing President Trump of creating a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded 'anti-weaponization' fund to compensate insurrectionists, calling it presidential corruption; the fund arose from a settlement linked to a prior IRS suit, with Trump aides named as defendants. The case adds to ongoing scrutiny of Trump’s post-2020 finances and rhetoric.
