Trump Proposes Reviving $1.8 Billion Fund Amid Senate Committee Meeting on AG Nomination

Donald Trump announced plans to revive the $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund, which he previously declared 'dead.' This announcement comes as the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to meet on Tuesday to consider Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general. Blanche's confirmation has faced delays due to disagreements between Trump and outgoing Republican senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, who are requesting written assurance that the Justice Department will not establish the proposed fund.
