"I do not see a scenario where Donald Trump spends one minute in jail."

"I would be surprised if we see a sentence of incarceration... [Trump] has no criminal record, it's a nonviolent crime."

"[T]here's no guarantees [Judge Merchan will not sentence Trump]."

"He could go to jail."

"I believe, if convicted, a sentence of incarceration is warranted and justified."

The judges "would likely sentence him to a term of incarceration."

"[I]t is substantially likely Judge Merchan will sentence Trump to jail or prison time."

"I think he almost definitely will receive a prison sentence... I could see Judge Merchan sentencing him to 24 months in jail."

The Trump administration signaled it plans to drop a $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund after two federal judges moved against it, with one source telling Axios "it's dead for now." The Justice Department said it would abide by a court order freezing the fund until at least a June 12 hearing.

The fund was created as part of a settlement resolving Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over the unauthorized disclosure of his tax returns. The deal also granted Trump, his family and his businesses broad immunity from IRS audits.

U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema barred the Justice Department from taking any further steps to create or operate the fund, while a Florida judge who oversaw Trump's original IRS lawsuit reopened the case to investigate allegations the settlement was "premised on deception."

The fund drew bipartisan opposition, with roughly half the Republican Senate conference prepared to vote with Democrats to restrict or kill it. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said his party was still "sorting through" a way forward and expressed concern Trump might veto legislation to rein in the fund.

Former Vice President Mike Pence called the fund "a bad idea from the start" and urged the administration to drop it, saying it was "deeply offensive" that it could potentially compensate people who "assaulted police officers or vandalized the Capitol on Jan. 6."

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer announced a coordinated effort to permanently block the fund through reconciliation amendments, floor votes and appropriations measures. Three Democratic senators also introduced legislation to shut down the fund and restrict future use of the Judgment Fund.
