Acting AG Patrick Blanche has officially killed a $1.8 billion fund created by former President Trump to compensate those he claims were targeted by the Justice Department — a move that clears a major hurdle for his confirmation and shuts down lawmakers’ concerns over misuse, especially around January 6th participants. Though the fund never disbursed money or established claims processes, its cancellation satisfies skeptical senators like Cornyn and Tillis who demanded proof it was dead before endorsing Blanche. Trump fiercely defends the fund, threatening to revive it if Blanche isn’t confirmed — adding political tension as Senate Judiciary prepares to vote this week.
