Ex‑Proud Boys leader eyes $5M payout from Trump's $1.776B fund

politicsMay 20, 202618781

A former Proud Boys leader convicted of seditious conspiracy in the January 6 attack plans to apply for roughly $5 million from Donald Trump's $1.776 billion settlement fund. The leader, WHO was sentenced to 22 years in prison, says he expects between $2 million and $5 million if his claim is approved. If approved, the payout would send settlement money to an individual convicted for the Capitol riot and could shape how the fund affects restitution and accountability for January 6 defendants.

Not so fast Yes, Section 4 of the 14th Amendment explicitly bans the U.S. government from paying out any debts or obligations incurred to aid an insurrection or rebellion against the United States. It dictates that any such claims for financial compensation are held illegal and void.

Of course he is! He’s going to be one of the generals in Trump’s SS.

Linda Sue19

He's paying them to commit another insurrection.

He's greedy, stupid and unamerican.

Phriendly Pharmer6

Of course he is, and he'll get something - if not the whole amount - as long as he pledges fealty and to bring an army for Trump when called. Same as it was on Jan 6 2021.

I guess it pays to be a domestic terrorist in America.

Rosalie907💙🇺🇸🇮🇪🇺🇦🌈🦋5

Hopefully this will get tied up in Court for years. Enrique Tario deserves nothing.

I can't wait till most if not all of them find out Trump has every intention to keep the money for himself.

Biltong Baggins2

If you’re not angry about this shit, you need to evaluate your life. Reparations for insurrectionists, we should be ashamed.

TheBionicBee 🐝2

That’s the last person who needs that much money.

Mike Ozbun2

Two million? From Trump? Universally known for his willingness to share.

Everyone in the country needs to put a claim into overwhelming them. Release the Epstein files and remove all of them from office

I don’t think this slush fund is going to happen.

I'm seriously having chest pains thinking of these domestic terrorists getting rich off of the taxes we're paying.

Jon Farrington19

Tarrio was sentenced ‌to 22 years for seditious conspiracy BY A JURY OF HIS PEERS in accordance with the Sixth Amendment, yet Trump has not only pardoned this convict but is also intends to REWARD HIM FOR HIS CRIMES directed at the very heart our Constitutional Democracy.

paws4justice.bsky.social13

Fuck him. Fuck Trump and Fuck the Republicans who are enabling this.

Arub M, MBA7

These people honestly believe they're getting money out of trump's slush fund. They still haven't received their gold "made in USA" trump phones after putting down a $100 deposit. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Patric Reynolds5

Every damn Republican should be asked if they are okay with Trump stealing our money to reward domestic terrorists, traitors, bigots, sex offenders for committing crimes on his behalf.

Debra Schafer4

Has this country totally collapsed?

Adam Wallenta4

If he gets one penny that would be too much.

Drspayne3

Why are Americans not in the streets over this embarrassing situation

Rick Havoc3

Paid to be a traitor. Get fucking bent.

Donna Belgum-Shroyer2

That bastard should have been executed for treason

Art David Rowe Paying his friends for their service. Trump showing the world how he ran his corporations, and why he declared bankruptcy so many times. The Art of the Grift at our expense.

We’ve got to stop this. They don’t deserve a penny they need to be in jail.
