The end of Trump's 'anti-weaponisation' fund is another sign Republicans are fighting back 03.06.2026

President Trump's controversial $1.8 billion "anti-weaponisation" fund, intended to compensate individuals allegedly targeted by the Biden administration, was officially terminated by the Department of Justice on Tuesday after a significant backlash from Republicans in Congress. The fund also included a provision to halt tax audits for Trump and his family, which drew widespread criticism. Republicans threatened to block a crucial immigration bill, viewing the fund as a self-inflicted wound that could harm the party in upcoming midterm elections. Despite assurances from Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche that the fund is abandoned, critics remain skeptical, with calls for legislative action to permanently prevent such schemes and ongoing legal challenges.
