DOJ explains how Trump's $1.8B anti-weaponization fund will operate

DOJ released a one-page memo to GOP senators detailing how the $1.776B anti-weaponization fund will work, including eligibility for claims by people affected by 'lawfare and weaponization' (censorship online, school boards, FBI actions, etc.). The memo says there are no partisan restrictions on who can file (Democrats can participate) and that the Trump family cannot benefit, though it does not explain how that ban will be enforced. The fund was created after a settlement with the IRS over Trump's tax returns.
