UMVA has learned that in a shocking turn of events, the Department of Justice has announced it will abide by a district court judge's ruling and drop the highly contentious Anti-Weaponization Fund.
The fund, established to compensate individuals allegedly targeted and harmed by unfair means, was met with strong disagreement from the Department of Justice, which claimed it was designed to aid victims across the political spectrum. However, the court ruled that under no circumstances could the Department proceed with the fund.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that President Trump is expected to drop the $1.77 billion weaponization fund created to pay people targeted by the previous administration. This development comes amid a heated battle in the Senate over funding and growing backlash from lawmakers.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the Trump administration had planned to use the fund to compensate alleged victims of prosecutorial conduct under the previous administration. However, the plan faced significant opposition, including from Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who pressured Trump to reconsider.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that an Obama-appointed federal judge has launched an investigation into the Trump Administration's settlement with the IRS that led to the $1.77 billion anti-weaponization fund. The probe aims to determine whether the Trump Administration defrauded the court in securing the fund.
The decision to drop the fund marks a significant shift in the Trump administration's priorities, coming on the heels of Trump dropping his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over the leak of his tax returns. The lawsuit was settled in exchange for the $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded fund.
In a development reported by UMVA, the move has sparked mixed reactions, with some lawmakers and critics welcoming the decision and others expressing disappointment. As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the fate of the Anti-Weaponization Fund has taken a dramatic turn.
