Judge Lets Lawsuit Challenge Trump Fund Proceed

Despite the acting AG publicly calling the fund dead, the Justice Department refused to formally kill the memo that created it, convincing the judge the case is far from over. With a July 17 deadline looming, the administration must now prove in writing the fund is truly defunct — or face legal consequences. The fund, born from a Trump IRS settlement, never disbursed a dime, but its potential recipients included January 6th figures — raising alarms about taxpayer money being funneled to political allies.
