The Trump administration has unveiled a £1.37 billion ($1.776 billion) government compensation fund, paid for by American taxpayers, to reimburse political allies who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration, drawing immediate condemnation from Democratic lawmakers and ethics watchdogs.
Eligible claimants could include the nearly 1,600 individuals charged in connection with the 6 January 2021 Capitol attack, as well as other allies who allege they were harmed by what the administration has termed 'weaponisation' of the legal system.
