Blanche rescinds fund for Trump allies after GOP senators threaten to block his attorney general bid

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a formal order late Sunday to terminate President Donald Trump's $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund. This fund was intended to compensate Trump allies. The decision follows threats from GOP senators who indicated they would block Blanche's bid to become the Attorney General if the fund remained. This action effectively ends the financial mechanism designed to support those targeted by what Trump described as the weaponization of government.
