Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche has reportedly terminated the controversial 'anti-weaponization fund', valued at approximately $1.8 billion, which was intended to compensate political allies of former President Donald Trump. Two Republican senators subsequently blocked Blanche's nomination for attorney general in protest, despite Blanche's previous claims that the fund was already dead. The Senate Judiciary Committee vote on Blanche is scheduled for Tuesday.
Todd Blanche, acting US Attorney General, has terminated the so-called 'anti-weaponization fund' — a $1.8 billion pool reportedly created to compensate political allies of former President Donald Trump. The move triggered immediate pushback from two Republican senators, who blocked Blanche's nomination for the permanent AG position in protest. Blanche had previously stated the fund was 'dead,' but the formal termination appears to have been finalized only now. The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on Blanche's confirmation on Tuesday. Blanche, nominated by Trump in June, previously sent a formal letter to the International Criminal Court rejecting its jurisdiction over US citizens, as The Zioneer reported in early July.
