The Trump administration announced a $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" financed through the DOJ's permanent judgment fund, created as part of a settlement in which President Trump dropped his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over leaked tax returns. The fund, administered by a five-member commission appointed by the attorney general, will accept claims through December 2028 from anyone alleging harm from Biden-era "weaponization" of the justice system — including potentially hundreds of January 6 defendants — dwarfing the $3.5 million paid to Tea Party groups in the comparable 2017 IRS targeting settlement by a factor of roughly 500.
