Judge demands sworn pledge to halt Trump’s Anti-Weaponization Fund amid lawsuit
A federal judge ordered Acting AG Blanche, Treasury Secretary Bessent, and Associate AG Woodward Jr. to file a sworn declaration within a week stating they will not create or operate the so-called Anti-Weaponization Fund, with the court warning that any reversal could amount to perjury; the DOJ says no fund exists, despite reports of potential payouts linked to a $1.776 billion settlement for weaponization claims, while plaintiffs continue to pursue the lawsuit and the court previously blocked related actions.
