The Trump DOJ, without any kind of appropriation or authorization from Congress, has created a $1.8 billion fund to compensate people who claim to be victims of “lawfare” and “weaponization” by Biden. In other words, Trump’s allies, including violent criminals from J6, can file what will certainly be frivolous claims, have them reviewed favorably by Trump appointees, and receive large amounts of taxpayer dollars for their “damages.”
The downward spiral of the DOJ thus continues. If you want to put a positive spin on this episode, at least you can say that it will make it much harder to get Blanche confirmed as AG if Trump decides to go in that direction.
