Todd Blanche finally kills the weird 'anti-weaponization' fund

Original version ·

The AG nominee just put his foot down, but Washington is still buzzing about what this actually changes for Donald Trump.

So, Todd BlancheDonald Trump’s pick for Attorney General—decided to stop playing games. After weeks of everyone wondering if that billion-dollar 'anti-weaponization' fund was actually real or just a fever dream, he finally signed an order officially nuking it. He basically wrote down that the whole thing is dead, buried, and has no effect.

The fund was originally set up to pay out people who claimed they were targeted by the government—a group that suspiciously included those involved in the Jan. 6 stuff. Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn finally feel safe enough to vote for him now. But don’t get too comfortable; Trump is already out there yelling that he’ll just force Congress to bring the money back anyway.

The wildest part? Nobody is totally sure if the tax-immunity deal for Trump and his family is actually gone or just hiding in the legal fine print. It’s a classic case of DC theater where the lead actor quits, but the director is still threatening to burn the set down.
