“If Trump gets billions in his settlement case with the IRS, that could fund it in itself.”
Trump agreed to settle for $0.00 and instead have the anti-weaponization fund set up.
I think it is strange how the press kept referring to the issue of one where Trump the individual was suing Trump the head of the federal government, because the AG and his DOJ are under Trump.
Maybe what the AG needed to do was set up a special DOJ contracted official to remove the AG from any oversight on any settlement on Trump’s suit. But that would have been Pam Bondi that needed to do that as the suit was filed shortly after Trump took office in 2025. Then nothing happened until after Bondi left office and the new AG took over.
Maybe Bondi had better legal advice on the matter than the new AG. But, maybe her inaction on this matter is really what got her fired.
Ok, so can Trump go back to suing the IRS since the anti-weaponization fund is probably not going to get funded by the Senate? Hopefully, whoever drew up the IRS settlement had a clause to go back to square one if the anti-weaponization fund does not materialize.
