A #US judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from establishing a nearly $1.8 billion fund intended to compensate victims of what Trump described as government “weaponization.”
The ruling, issued by US District Judge Leonie Brinkema of the Eastern District of Virginia, prevents the administration from "taking any further action" to establish or operate the fund. At the same time, the court reviews additional legal arguments.
The Justice Department announced the creation of the "Anti-Weaponization Fund" last week as part of a settlement agreement in Trump’s lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his tax records.
