Allies of the Trump administration are looking at alternatives to the "anti-weaponization fund" to compensate people who claim to have been persecuted by the government, according to a new report.
Citing sources familiar with the matter, Reuters detailed that the allies have set their sights on a law called the Federal Tort Claims Act, which allows people to sue the government for alleged wrongdoing. Those claims, the outlet added, can be settled out of court, giving the administration a path to make payments bypassing judges.
