President Donald Trump's allies are already lining up to seek money from his administration's new $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund," a Justice Department program created to compensate people who say they were politically targeted by the federal government under the Biden administration.

The fund, announced by the Justice Department this week, will have the power to issue formal apologies and provide monetary relief to approved claimants. The DOJ said there are "no partisan requirements" to apply and that any unspent money will return to the federal government when the fund stops processing claims by Dec. 1, 2028.
