Judge orders DOJ to disclose who conceived of now-defunct payout fund

A judge has ordered the DOJ to disclose the individuals who conceived a now-defunct payout fund. The Trump administration abandoned plans for this fund, which was intended to compensate people claiming unfair prosecution. The proposal to allocate $1.8 billion in taxpayer money to potential allies of the president faced significant scrutiny, including a rare rebuke from Senate Republicans. Despite the fund's cancellation, several lawsuits remain ongoing regarding the origins of the initiative.
