DOJ refuses to certify end of Trump’s $1.8B 'anti-weaponization' fund
Top Justice Department lawyers, led by Todd Blanche, declined a federal judge’s order to provide a signed declaration confirming the $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' settlement fund is dead. The settlement agreement that created the $1.8 billion fund remains on the books, and the judge had given DOJ seven days to verify it would not be implemented. DOJ lawyers told the court a written sworn statement was unnecessary even as the underlying deal and liability protections persist. The standoff matters because it leaves legal uncertainty about whether the fund or its protections could be revived and hands the judge a pivotal enforcement decision.
He’s just blowing through the nation’s tax dollars like it’s a personal vanity project slush fund
Special K6Because that’s what it is, or at least what it became when the people decided to give him and his cult control of the government. The people sent a message: Everything that is ours is actually yours, dear leader. This country should never be allowed to live down what it has done.
experimental22.bsky.social3It is far-and-away the greatest heist in global history. The Trump White House & its MAGA Nazi oligarch allies are stealing & grifting TRILLIONS of dollars. It is fair to view it as the theft of the United States of America. If you are not an oligarch, you are the victim.
DrKarAlto2Retrofitting a plane with taxpayer dollars means it is ours to keep- how can he get away with having it transferred to him?
It’s a scam and theft. Pure and simple. He’s a crook.
Todd Blanche refused a federal court’s order to provide a written statement that the “anti-weaponization” fund is dead. Blanche is leading the Justice Department off a constitutional cliff. Tell you senators to ask Blanche why he won’t put it in writing. www.youtube.com/shorts/XXRD0...

Peggy Camp5Blanche believes he and the DOJ are above the law - they are corrupt to the core ‼️ Thanks Liz for your analysis. 🙏💙🇺🇸
How about we force Congress to aggressively pursue every act of contempt of Congress and start actually putting these people in jail. We already have a constitutional crisis. This just might resolve it.
Trump's DOJ wants judges to take their word that the $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund is dead. That's not good enough.
Michael Bennet27This was a taxpayer-funded slush fund to reward Trump loyalists, including Tina Peters. If it's truly dead, rescind it. Put it in writing. The rule of law demands more than empty assurances.
brown cloud3Michael Bennet voted to approve trump's cabinet nominees 8 times and doesn't support universal health care. He is way too moderate to be Colorado's senator or governor. ballotpedia.org/How_senators... Vote for @philweiser.bsky.social in the gubernatorial primary.
