WASHINGTON - Two police officers have filed a lawsuit seeking to block the Trump administration from creating a compensation fund that could provide payouts to the president’s supporters who attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
“In the most brazen act of presidential corruption this century, President Donald J Trump has created a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to finance the insurrectionists and paramilitary groups that commit violence in his name,” the officers said in their suit filed in federal court in Washington.
