2:42Now PlayingSen. John Cornyn (R-TX) pressed Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche on Wednesday about the Justice Department's proposed "anti-weaponization" fund to compensate alleged victims of lawfare under the Biden administration.
"The settlement fund is just not moving forward," Mr. Blanche said of the fund that drew bipartisan criticism and was later abandoned. "There's no modification. It's just — it never started. No money went from the Treasury to any other account. There's no commissioners. It's not moving forward."
Sen. Cornyn, who will be a crucial vote for Mr. Blanche's confirmation, continued pressing him on the fund, questioning whether President Trump, a party to the settlement, had agreed in writing to kill it and whether he or his sons could file a lawsuit to revive it.
"I supposed they could bring a lawsuit and then we would litigate it, but even if we were litigating it, there's no fund," Mr. Blanche said. "So the results of such litigation, whatever it would be, wouldn't be a revival of the fund."
