A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to disclose the creators of a now-defunct $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund” designed to compensate victims of political lawfare — a move sparked by a lawsuit from Democracy Forward. Though the Justice Department dropped the fund last month and former AG claimed it never existed, critics argue it could have compensated January 6 participants and was secretly tied to a Trump-ISS tax leak settlement that shielded his family from future audits. A prior judge called the IRS lawsuit a sham, meant to legitimize the fund. Despite its cancellation, Trump says victims were “horribly treated” and hasn’t ruled out future compensation — while the legal battle rages on to expose who really pulled the strings.
