The $1.8 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' is a taxpayer-funded slush fund with zero accountability — violent Jan. 6 rioters could get paid, campaign donors could cash in, and the public may never know who gets what. Blanche refused to rule out payments to people convicted of assaulting police officers. This is corrupt self-dealing dressed up in legal language.
The Anti-Weaponization Fund is a lawful, structured process to redress real abuses of government power, and Trump's family gets zero money from it. There's clear legal precedent — the Obama administration created a similar $760 million fund — and any unspent money reverts to the federal government, unlike Keepseagle, where leftover funds went to groups that never even filed claims.
