Judge Demands to Know Who Cooked Up Trump's Secret $1.8B Slush Fund

A federal magistrate judge just decided it is time to stop the guessing game about that infamous $1.8 billion fund. Trump’s team cooked up this pot of cash under the guise of an 'anti-weaponization' initiative, but it basically looked like a get-out-of-jail-free card for January 6 rioters and a golden ticket for Trump to skip IRS audits.

Even though the current attorney general, Todd Blanche, declared the fund dead, the courts aren't letting it slide into oblivion that easily. The judge ordered the administration to reveal exactly who came up with this scheme and how it was wired.

Critics like Adam Schiff have been pointing out that just because a guy says the fund is gone doesn't mean it won't pop up again tomorrow. The deal was never properly signed off by the big boss himself, leaving the whole thing looking more like a shadowy back-room handshake than actual policy.

A secret fund that pays off protesters while quietly shielding the boss from taxes is exactly the kind of move that keeps democracy lawyers up at night.
