5:40Now PlayingTrump told reporters the $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund is dead, then immediately said he wished it weren’t and that he wanted people compensated. That contradiction lands as John Cornyn and Thom Tillis demand written guarantees before confirming Todd Blanche, while Judge Kathleen Williams has already blasted the IRS settlement as an attempt to access public money with a “patina of legitimacy.” In the same 24-hour stretch, Trump defended the fund, pushed Blanche’s confirmation, and his private lawyers appealed sanctions tied to the lawsuit, which makes the whole thing look very much alive.
