The Trump administration plans to drop the Department of Justice’s $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” in the face of legal and political pushback to it, reports said Monday.<\/p>\n

The fund was created as part of a settlement of President Donald Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service. It is intended to compensate people who were purportedly victims of prosecutorial overreach by the DOJ under the Biden administration.<\/p>\n

Reports that the fund was being put on ice came after House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., met with Trump at the White House about the fund.<\/p>\n

Axios, in its report Monday, quoted a senior administration official as saying that the fund is “dead for now.”<\/p>\n

Punchbowl separately reported that “the administration is expected to announce that they are going to comply with the court order and not go forward on the weaponization fund.”<\/p>\n

On Friday, a federal judge blocked the DOJ from taking any action to create or disburse money from the fund for now as a lawsuit challenging it plays out in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia.<\/p>\n

Judge Leonie Brinkema also scheduled a June 12 court hearing on whether to maintain the injunction against the fund.<\/p>\n

Brinkema is overseeing one of three federal lawsuits that seek to block the fund.<\/p>\n
