Judge Blocks Billion-Dollar Fund

Lawsuits are now mounting from former prosecutors, protesters, and advocacy groups challenging the fund’s legality. The judge is waiting for a clear, unambiguous agreement that the money is gone for good. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
