"ALEXANDRIA, Va. (CN) — In a setback for the Trump administration, a federal judge on Friday indefinitely extended a block on a nearly $1.8 billion planned anti-weaponization fund meant to distribute payouts to those targeted by the federal government.
U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema signaled that she would consider declaring the case against the administration moot if Todd Blanche, acting attorney general, along with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, sign a declaration under penalty of perjury that the fund would not go forward “in any manner, or under any name.”
Brinkema gave officials a week to submit a sworn declaration confirming no payments were made under the fund and that the fund wouldn’t be revived.
Blanche has informed Congress that the government would not go forward with plans for the fund. The administration contended in a Friday hearing that given this announcement, the case is moot."
