1:18Now PlayingActing Attorney General Todd Blanche issued an order late Sunday to terminate President Donald Trump’s $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization fund,” which could have compensated Jan. 6 insurrectionists. The move comes after Republican Sens. John Cornyn, R-TX, and Thom Tillis, R-NC, blocked Blanche’s attorney general nomination over the issue.
