Trump's $1.8B Anti-Weaponization Fund Killed After Three Months — Zero Claims Processed

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche formally terminated the $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund on August 3, 2026, rescinding the May 18 order that created it. The fund, designed to compensate individuals described as targets of politically motivated prosecutions including January 6 defendants, never processed a single claim. Republican Senators Cornyn and Tillis had blocked Blanche's nomination over the fund's structure and scope. A committee vote is set for August 5.
