Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is appearing on Capitol Hill for his first congressional testimony since taking the reins at the Justice Department, as the agency faces intense scrutiny over its plans to create a $1.7 billion fund to pay allies of President Donald Trump who believe they were targeted politically. Senator Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, castigated Blanche over the fund during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing.
Van Hollen called the Anti-Weaponization Fund announced Monday a “pure theft of public funds.” He told Blanche he was “still acting as the president’s personal lawyer” and not the acting attorney general that he is. Blanche defended the creation of the fund as having precedent during the hearing.
Blanche said the fund will not be limited to Republicans or to people who were investigated or prosecuted by the Biden administration. He also said he expected the payouts, which will be decided by a five-member commission, to be a matter of public record.
