Judge Slams Fund Amid Political Firestorm

A federal judge just rejected a bid to block a $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” meant to compensate victims of government overreach—but slapped a stern warning on the administration, signaling he’s watching closely. The fund, created to settle a tax leak lawsuit, hasn’t paid a dime or formed its payout commission, yet has sparked outrage across the political spectrum, especially over potential payouts to January 6 rioters. The acting AG claimed the government is abandoning the fund, but the President later backed it—creating a legal and political tangle. Another judge in Virginia has already paused the fund’s operations, with a hearing looming. This messy legal dance is far from over.
