Trump’s slush fund intended to pay those who committed crimes while trying to help him overturn an election he lost is dead.
After having the fund’s implementation blocked by a federal court on Friday, the DOJ announced:
The Department of Justice strongly disagrees with the Gun Fund ruling issued by the United States District Court Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia, in which the Court stated that under no circumstances can the Department of Justice proceed with the recently established Gun Fund to compensate for the enormous abuse, harm, and hatred unfairly shown to so many.
This Fund was open to anyone who was thus militarized, targeted, or persecuted, whether Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Independent, or otherwise. The ministry will respect the Court’s decision.
The DOJ continues to defend Trump’s slush fund, which is sounding the alarm, because the pause, as the Justice Department called it, looks more like a temporary move than a permanent reversal.
Democrats aren’t buying the pause.
In fact, they are moving forward with plans to pass legislation to eliminate the fund.
