Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Tuesday confirmed that Trump’s $1.78 billion weaponization fund has been scrapped.
On Monday, it was reported that President Trump is going to drop the $1.77 billion weaponization fund created to pay people targeted by the Biden Regime.
The DOJ later Monday released a statement on the weaponization fund:
The Department of Justice disagrees strongly with the decision on the Anti-Weaponization Fund put forth by the United States District Court Judge in the Eastern District of Virginia, wherein the Court stated that, under no circumstances, may the Department of Justice proceed with the Anti-Weaponization Fund recently established in order to make up for the tremendous abuse, harm, and hate unfairly shown to so many people. This Fund was open to anybody who was so weaponized, targeted, or persecuted, whether they were Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Independent, or otherwise. The Department will abide by the Court’s ruling.
Republican Senators were not satisfied with the Justice Department’s statement on the $1.77 billion weaponization fund and demanded a clear statement from Trump.
The Senators threatened to hold up funding for ICE and border patrol.
On Tuesday, Blanche said the weaponization fund has been scrapped.
“We are not moving forward with the weaponization fund. Period,” Blanche said during his testimony to a House Appropriations Subcommittee on oversight of the Justice Department.
“Could we get that in writing?” Democrat Rep. Grace Meng asked Blanche.
“I’m telling you, it’s not progressing,” Blanche said.
“We hope to see this is writing,” Meng said.
“I think there will be a transcript of what I saw here,” Blanche said.
