The Trump administration created a $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" from a settlement of the president's own lawsuit against the IRS, drawing bipartisan legal challenges over whether it could be used to compensate Jan. 6 defendants — including those convicted of assaulting police officers. After a federal judge blocked the fund and Capitol Police officers sued, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche declared the DOJ would not move forward with it, but Jan. 6 defendants continue to pursue alternative legal paths to taxpayer-funded payouts.
