A nearly $1.8 billion DOJ-controlled fund cannot be created, defined, and distributed in the shadows. Today, I called on Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to provide immediate transparency on the Department’s newly announced “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” By June 1, DOJ must answer three basic questions: Where is the money coming...

Nearly $1.8 billion in taxpayer money cannot be moved into a new DOJ fund without clear legal authority, defined eligibility standards, or oversight. The American people deserve to know where the money is coming from, who may receive payments from it, and what safeguards exist to protect taxpayers. Yesterday, I called on DOJ to provide those answers. And today, I introduced the Bipartisan Transparency for American Taxpayers Act with Tom Suozzi to ensure federal funds cannot be used for the “Anti-Weaponization Fund”. Taxpayer dollars will never be turned into a discretionary payout fund. Transparency is not optional. Accountability is not negotiable. 🔗: I joined Jake Tapper 🦅 to discuss—watch below ⬇️:

At a time when families are working harder than ever to keep up with the cost of living, we need to be focused on protecting taxpayers— not a nearly $1.8 billion discretionary payout fund created through an abuse of existing law. I joined Katie Couric to discuss my bill to stop the DOJ “Anti-Weaponization Fund” before a single dime goes out the door. We broke down what this fund is, how discharge petitions work, and why we are prepared to use every tool available to protect taxpayers and stop this fund from moving forward, plus more. 🔗 Watch a clip below and listen to our full conversation here:

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told a House panel that the Justice Department is "not moving forward" with the $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization" fund. "I will not accept a situation where we get into a bait-and-switch," says Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen.

THIS IS WHY REPUBLICANS ARE REVOLTING AGAINST THE DOJ FUND. According to reports from a closed-door Senate meeting, the Acting Attorney General could not guarantee that the proposed $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund would exclude January 6 defendants. That got lawmakers' attention. The concern wasn't about the size of the fund. It was whether people convicted of assaulting police officers during the Capitol attack could potentially receive compensation from it. That's why opposition isn't just coming from Democrats. It's coming from Republicans who say that possibility is a political and moral nonstarter.

#BREAKING: Hayes: “Acting AG Todd Blanche told Congress not to worry about the $1.8 billion slush fund for insurrectionists…The DOJ then told the court the same thing—don’t worry, it’s moot, it’s dropped, and then last week, the judge said okay, fine, put it in writing. She ordered Blanche and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and an associate AG to all sign ‘a declaration under the penalty of perjury, they will not take any action to create or operate the anti-weaponization fund and that the anti-weaponization fund will not proceed in any manner or under any name.’ Well, today was the deadline for that and guess what? They came back to the court and they said no, we’re NOT doing it. We’re NOT filing any declaration to officially kill the fund, which probably means the slush fund is NOT dead.”🙄🤦‍♀️

Pres. Trump's so-called "anti-weaponization" fund was a key issue behind a GOP Senate rebellion against the president, and acting attorney general Todd Blanche was the public face of it. But some Republicans chose not to kill the fund with legislation. The question is why.

When asked by CBS News’ Nancy Cordes whether people who committed violence against Capitol Police officers on January 6 should be eligible for compensation from a new DOJ fund, President Trump said the decision would be left to a committee of “highly respected” people. "I do believe there has to be compensation for people that were destroyed," Trump said. Trump and the Justice Department reached a $1.7 billion settlement in the president's lawsuit against the IRS and Treasury Department over the leak of his tax returns. A $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" will be created Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's direction to "provide a systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare."

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche cleared a major hurdle in his push to permanently lead the Justice Department. Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina said they will officially back Blanche after he put into writing that the DOJ is scrapping a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund that could have provided settlements to the president’s allies. Ali Rogin has more.

Michael Popok: There is a choreography going on where the DOJ is not going to defend the Federal Tort Claims Act cases. They're going to fold. They're going to settle. Effectively, the Jan 6ers were told by the DOJ, "File your lawsuit under the Federal Tort Claims Act and we will pay you." So forget about the Jan 6th fund. The fund was always a ruse. It was always a red herring to distract attention from the fact that the DOJ is willing to use your taxpayer dollars to pay insurrectionists to attack Capitol Police. And they're going to use Todd Blanche to do it.

Acting AG Todd Blanche gave me his “word” DOJ will drop the so-called “anti-weaponization” slush fund—but refused to put it in writing. Meanwhile Trump is saying the opposite. We can’t take these people at their word. Rep. Jamie Raskin and I are pushing legislation to ensure taxpayer dollars aren’t used to bankroll a president’s personal agenda.

Perryman: Why can’t Blanche swear to what the judge in our case provided a pathway for the DOJ to swear to, which is that the fund, under any name, is not going to operate and will not operate in the future? They won’t do it. Cornyn and Tillis may have been duped on this, but the American people aren’t.

🚨BULLSHIT: Trump was just asked why taxpayers should pay for the $1.776 BILLION so-called anti-weaponization fund the DOJ created to settle his $10B IRS suit. His answer: "I know very little about it; I wasn't involved in the creation of it and the negotiation." He SUED the government. This is corruption in plain sight.

“We live in a generation where we are transferring value from energy into a fund that will fund pensions in the future. When oil prices go up and down, nothing goes into my budget—it goes into this fund,” says Jonas Gahr Støre, prime minister of Norway. “From that fund, we can spend 3% or less of interest a year. We have not spent any money from that fund—only part of the interest. It’s meant to be there for future generations. It basically is meant to be a fund there forever.”

Reporter: The price tag for this doj fund, $1.8 billion, you have people that can't afford groceries. Gas is high. People are making sacrifices in their personal lives to accommodate for this rise in prices. People are telling us that they feel financially worse off. They're very concerned about the uncertainty. How can you justify that amount of taxpayer money for that fund when people are struggling? What do you say to Americans who wonder why this fund is getting all this money and I can't afford basic life amenities? Vance: Thanks to Donald Trump's leadership and the working families tax cut, we put $40 billion into a rural health care fund

BREAKING: A federal judge is now signaling the Trump administration’s so-called “weaponization fund” may have emerged from collusive litigation and could potentially amount to fraud on the court. That is nuclear-level language from a judge. “Fraud on the court” is not normal criticism. It is reserved for situations where a court believes it may have been manipulated, misled, or used as part of a coordinated scheme. And the judge reportedly pointed to two giant red flags: - the massive $1.8 billion settlement amount - and concerns the opposing sides may not have actually been acting as true adversaries Translation? The court is openly questioning whether this lawsuit was partially engineered to create a taxpayer-funded political compensation machine. That is an absolutely extraordinary development.

🚨 HOLY SHIT. CNN’s legal analysts are now openly discussing whether the settlement that created the anti-weaponization fund could amount to FRAUD ON THE COURT. That is not normal legal language. “Fraud on the court” is basically reserved for the nuclear scenarios: lying to the court, withholding evidence, or manipulating the legal process itself. And the judge reportedly raised a terrifying possibility: what if the two sides were never truly fighting each other at all? Read that again. The concern is that the lawsuit may have been used as a vehicle to create: the settlement, the immunity protections, and the nearly $1.8 billion fund.

On ending the $1.8 billion DOJ fund, should they put it in writing since they announced it in writing? Rep. Mike Lawler: "Sure. I think that would satisfy a number of my colleagues and probably you in the media. But again, I think the bottom line is there's not the support for it within Congress."

🚨 AG Todd Blanche isn’t backing down. When pressed on whether he’d give Trump legal advice the President might not like, Blanche shut it down: “I’ve done it for many years… and I will continue to do it.” On Jeanine Pirro dropping charges in the Lincoln Memorial case? He fully supports her — even while acknowledging Trump’s frustration. And on the “anti-weaponization fund”? Clear answer: They’re not using it to cut checks. If you feel the government wronged you, take it to court. Blanche is drawing hard lines while delivering real results on crime. This is what accountability looks like!

Dana Bash pressed Jim Jordan on Trump’s threat: “If Republicans don’t confirm Todd Blanche, the $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund is back on the table.” Jordan didn’t take the bait. He said Blanche is the best Attorney General he’s seen in 19 years, highly qualified, and needs to be confirmed. Then he reminded everyone that under Merrick Garland, Peter Strzok got $1.2 million and Lisa Page got $800,000 from similar funds. Bash wanted a fight over Trump’s post. Jordan kept the focus on double standards and getting Blanche confirmed. TIME TO CONFIRM TODD BLANCHE!
