Two law enforcement officers who fought off a mob of Donald Trump’s supporters at the Capitol on January 6 have filed the first federal lawsuit to dissolve the administration’s newly created fund that rioters may turn to for multi-million dollar taxpayer payouts.
The lawsuit from former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn and Metropolitan Police Department Officer Daniel Hodges seeks to block the nearly $1.8 billion compensation fund, which was launched as part of a settlement agreement between the president and the IRS after the president sued his own administration for $10 billion.
