US Acting Attorney General Rescinds $1.8 Billion Anti-Weaponization Fund Ahead of Senate Vote
US Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has formally rescinded the $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund following opposition from Senate Republicans, notably Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis. The fund, linked to a settlement over the disclosure of former President Trump's tax records, had become a key obstacle to Blanche's confirmation. After discussions with Senate Judiciary Committee members, Blanche issued an order nullifying the fund, clearing the way for a confirmation vote scheduled for Tuesday.
