Judge orders Trump officials to disclose who set up the $1.8B ‘anti-weaponization’ fund

🚨 JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP OFFICIALS TO REVEAL WHO CREATED THE $1.8 BILLION “ANTI-WEAPONIZATION” FUND

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to disclose the identities of people involved in developing a controversial $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” putting new scrutiny on how the extraordinary proposal was created.

The fund emerged from a settlement involving President Donald Trump and the IRS and was intended to compensate people who claimed they had been politically targeted by the federal government. The proposal quickly attracted bipartisan criticism over concerns about the use of taxpayer money and the possibility that recipients could include Trump allies.

The administration later moved to scrap the fund, but the legal fight did not end there. A federal court has continued pressing for answers about who was behind the proposal and how the government reached the decision to establish it.

The judge’s order could provide a clearer picture of the decision-making process inside the Trump administration—and whether senior officials or outside figures played a role.

The controversy has also become a political problem for Attorney General Todd Blanche, whose handling of the fund faced scrutiny during his confirmation process.

Who came up with the $1.8 billion plan—and why?

That is now a question the Trump administration may have to answer in court.
