The Justice Department recently announced a $1.776 billion fund designed to compensate people who claim they were targeted by Joe Biden‘s Justice Department and Democrats as victims of “weaponization and lawfare.” Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has strongly opposed the move, calling it “thoroughly illegal and unconstitutional.”
The fund, called the Anti-Weaponization Fund, is part of a settlement between Trump and the Justice Department. In exchange for dropping his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over his leaked tax returns, Trump agreed to set up the fund. The money will come from a “special, unlimited account available to the Justice Department for settling lawsuits.”
