Political observers expressed outrage Monday over the Justice Department announcement of a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization fund” controlled by President Donald Trump as the result of the settlement from his lawsuit over his tax returns being leaked.
The Justice Department did not name specific individuals who might stand to benefit from the fund, but said there were no “partisan requirements” for applicants and that anyone who believes they’ve been unfairly persecuted could seek a payout as well as an apology. A five-member commission appointed by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche will oversee the fund, the Associated Press reported.
