3:07Now PlayingUS President Donald Trump and his administration are facing intense criticism after the Justice Department announced a massive $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund" that could compensate individuals who claim they were unfairly investigated or prosecuted by the federal government in recent years. The controversy has triggered a fierce political and legal debate in Washington because of how the fund came into existence, who could potentially benefit from it, and the unusual role Trump himself played in the process.
The fund was announced by the Justice Department as part of a settlement tied to Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS over the leak of his tax returns. According to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the fund is meant to compensate “victims of lawfare and weaponization". In recent years, Republicans have increasingly used the term “weaponization" to accuse federal agencies like the DOJ, FBI and IRS of unfairly targeting conservatives and Trump supporters.
