The DOJ created a $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund that could compensate nearly 1,600 pardoned January 6 defendants, including more than 600 convicted of assaulting police officers. The fund was created through a settlement of the president's personal lawsuit against the IRS. It draws from the Judgment Fund, a permanent Treasury account never before used to create a compensation program for people who have not sued the government.
Two Capitol Police officers who defended the building on January 6 have filed a federal lawsuit calling the fund 'the most brazen act of presidential corruption this century.' The 14th Amendment, Section 4, prohibits the federal government from paying debts incurred in aid of insurrection. Tell your representatives to block this fund and support legislation restricting Judgment Fund disbursements.
