<\/p>\n
A controversy is unfolding in Washington, D.C., over the announcement of a $1.7 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” by the Department of Justice. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The money would be used to compensate anyone found to be victims of unjust investigations and prosecutions by the Biden Justice Department.<\/p>\n
A commission will evaluate the claims and the amount of compensation.<\/p>\n
President Trump defends the fund as justice for victims of government harassment, while Democrats claim it’s a slush fund to aid his allies.<\/p>\n
“This is reimbursing people that were horribly treated, horribly treated. It’s anti-weaponization. They’ve been weaponized. They’ve been, in some cases, imprisoned wrongly,” the President said.<\/p>\n
Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (NY) said, “Trump pardoned violent insurrectionists who assaulted your capital to overturn your votes, and now he wants to give them your hard-earned tax dollars as a reward. Can you believe that?”\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Department of Justice agreed to establish the fund in a settlement with President Trump to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over a leak of his tax returns.<\/p>\n
Trump acknowledged it’s unusual for a president to be involved in litigation against his own government.
