Trump's $1.8B Anti-Weaponization Fund Scrapped After Three Months — No Claims Paid

Acting Attorney General Blanche terminated the $1.78 billion anti-weaponization fund on August 3, 2026, rescinding the May 18 order that created it. The fund, meant to compensate those who faced politically motivated prosecutions — including January 6 defendants — never processed a claim. Senators Cornyn and Tillis had blocked Blanche's nomination over the fund's design. A committee vote is set for August 5.
