Oppose the DOJ's $1.776 Billion Political Slush Fund

To: Rep. Collins, Sen. Warnock, Sen. Ossoff

From: A constituent in Athens, GA

May 19

Block the Justice Department's new $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization" fund before it pays out a single dollar of taxpayer money to Trump's political allies. This fund was announced by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche — Trump's former personal defense attorney — and structured so Trump can fire any of its five commissioners. That's not justice. That's a president using a federal agency he controls to reward his friends. The corruption here is not subtle. Claims will be processed through December 15, 2028, conveniently one month before Trump leaves office. Mike Lindell is already lining up to collect. Meanwhile, Trump quietly dropped his $10 billion IRS lawsuit as part of this arrangement, with no settlement documents filed in court and no explanation from the DOJ. Federal Judge Kathleen Williams called out exactly how irregular this was. Senate Minority Leader Schumer is right to call it a slush fund. So is Public Citizen in calling it a January 6 payment fund. Even Republican senators like Joni Ernst and John Kennedy are demanding scrutiny. Use every tool available — oversight hearings, funding restrictions, legal challenges — to shut this down. Taxpayers should not be footing the bill for a loyalty rewards program dressed up as justice reform.
