Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche rescinds controversial $1.8 b. anti-weaponization fund
Trump had said as recently as last week that the $1.8 b. "anti-weaponization" fund was dead.
Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche rescinded the controversial $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund, clearing a path for his Senate confirmation. Republican Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis had stalled his nomination over concerns the fund could be a "slush fund for Trump's supporters." The Department of Justice announced Blanche "rescinded the May 18, 2026 Order that established 'The Anti-Weaponization Fund'." The senators also objected to a separate order limiting IRS audits for Trump and his companies. While an agreement was reached to terminate the fund and clarify the audit settlement's scope, President Trump indicated he would push Congress to codify the fund if Blanche is not confirmed.
