0:58Now PlayingTwo police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, filed a lawsuit on Wednesday to try to block the government's "Anti-Weaponization Fund."
Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and Officer Daniel Hodges of the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department say the Trump administration created the fund "to finance the insurrectionists and paramilitary groups that commit violence in his name."
The administration says it's meant to compensate those who believe they have been mistreated by the U.S. legal system.
During congressional testimony Tuesday, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche did not rule out whether that could include Jan. 6 rioters.
More than 100 police officers were injured during that attack.
