Investigate and shut down the DOJ's so-called "Anti-Weaponization Fund" immediately. Todd Blanche's Justice Department just announced it will pull $1.776 billion from the federal Treasury's Judgment Fund — a permanent appropriation Congress created to pay legitimate court judgments — and hand it out to Trump allies, MAGA loyalists, and roughly 1,500 January 6th rioters who claim they were "victims."
This is not a legal settlement process. It's a political slush fund. A five-member commission appointed by the Attorney General, with members Trump personally reserves the right to fire, will decide who gets paid. The application window conveniently closes December 15, 2028 — just before any new administration could stop it. Trump even sued the IRS, an agency he controls, for $10 billion over his leaked tax returns and then effectively settled with himself. That's not justice. That's looting.
Congress controls the purse. You have the authority to investigate this fund, block disbursements, and demand accountability for how Judgment Fund money is being redirected for political payoffs. Do it now, before this money disappears.
