Wait 5 sec.

Bloomberg: “The Trump administration intends to scrap a controversial $1.8 billion legal fund for victims of alleged government weaponization.”“The move came after blowback from Republicans and Democrats, who derided it as a slush fund for President Donald Trump’s political allies. It’s the latest setback for the president, who recently suffered a court defeat over his plans to overhaul the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and has struggled to end the war in Iran.”Said one source to Axios: “It’s dead for now.”Punchbowl News reports that “the administration is expected to announce that they are going to comply with the court order and not go forward on the weaponization fund.”
