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.

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.

Jeffries: Todd Blanche is not qualified to be the deputy attorney general, the acting attorney general, and he certainly is not qualified to be the United States attorney general. The role of that particular position is to serve as the people's lawyer. Todd Blanche has been acting like Donald Trump's lawyer, which was his former position, but he has failed to transition in terms of behaving in the best interest of the American people.

Part of Trump's challenge in getting Blanche confirmed comes from Republican Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn, who could vote against Blanche if he cannot assure them that the so-called "weaponization fund," which would use taxpayer money to compensate people who believe they were wronged by the federal government, is dead.

By supporting Todd Blanche as Attorney General, Congressional Republicans are embracing a man who helped preside over a slush fund to reward those who viciously beat police officers on January 6th. Now this same man could become the highest law enforcement official in the United States? This is outrageous and dangerous.

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."

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 from? Who is eligible to receive it? And under what legal authority is DOJ creating a discretionary compensation fund of this scale without explicit congressional authorization, court approval, or judicial oversight? Taxpayer dollars will not be turned into a discretionary payout fund. Transparency is not optional. Accountability is not negotiable. Kaitlan Collins and I discussed this tonight TheSourceCNN ⬇️
