A Trump associate and supporter predicted earlier this year that the Justice Department would hand out millions of dollars in payouts to Jan. 6 rioters who were later pardoned by President Trump. That prediction could come true after the Justice Department announced that it would create a $1.776 billion fund that could go to those who had "suffered weaponization and lawfare" under the Joe Biden administration.
NBC News reported that the prediction was made by Ed Martin, who once oversaw the Justice Department's "weaponization" working group, which investigated the past probes of the president and his allies.
