Capitol police sue to block 1.8 billion dollar fund for January 6 rioters

Trump sued the federal government over a tax return leak, his own Justice Department settled the case, and the result is a 1.776 billion dollar fund — administered by commissioners appointed by his former personal attorney — that pardoned January 6th rioters are already lining up to collect from. The officers who were beaten in that Capitol tunnel just filed suit to kill it, arguing a president literally cannot sue himself, settle with himself, and hand the money to people who attacked the government. No eligibility rules have been published, no Congress voted on this, and the whole thing sunsets exactly when Trump's term ends.
