Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced during a House Appropriations Committee hearing Tuesday that the Justice Department is abandoning its efforts to create the Anti-Weaponization Fund.
The fund, which stemmed from a lawsuit between President Donald Trump and the Internal Revenue Service, was put on hold after a federal judge issued a temporary injunction blocking its creation. A hearing on the Anti-Weaponization Fund’s legal basis had been scheduled for June 12, but it will no longer take place, according to Blanche’s testimony.
“We are not moving forward with the fund, period,” Blanche said. “The reasons for the fund are something that President Trump talked about for a long time, which is the fact that there were a lot of people in this country who had their government weaponized against them. The reasons for the fund, I think, remain as important as they were before, but, we are not moving forward with the fund.”
