Two police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol on January 6 filed a lawsuit Wednesday to block rioters from receiving money from a new federal settlement fund.
Officers Daniel Hodges and Harry Dunn filed the suit against the Trump administration's $1.77 billion anti-weaponization fund, calling it an illegal slush fund and a violation of the Administrative Procedures Act.
Hodges is known for being caught on video nearly crushed in a doorway during the Capitol attack — widely regarded as one of the most violent moments of that day. Dunn has been vocal since the January 6 insurrection, testifying before Congress and speaking at press conferences about what happened.
"Our attorney reached out to us, me and Harry, and said that we would have a case to try and stop it and I'm willing to do whatever I can to make sure that these people don't get that money, these ill-gotten gains from the American taxpayers," Hodges said.
"So I just said yeah, absolutely if I can help I'll do it," Hodges said.
The lawsuit focuses specifically on the more than 1,600 people who have faced criminal charges for their actions on January 6, 2021. Hodges and Dunn argue the settlement fund should require judicial review and that its creation amounts to blatant presidential corruption.
The officers are asking the court to deem the fund illegal, arguing its creation did not follow federal law. They also want the court to block any payments from the fund to those 1,600 individuals and, further, to block the fund entirely so that no one receives payments from it.
The legal challenge is expected to move through the courts for months.
On the legislative front, the anti-weaponization fund could also face limits through the Senate reconciliation bill Republicans are working to advance. Democrats are expected to use the amendment voting process — known as a Votarama — to introduce limitations or potentially block the fund entirely. Republicans may attempt to preempt those efforts by putting their own restrictions on the fund first.
Many questions about the fund remain unanswered, including who the commissioners would be, who is eligible, what parameters would govern qualification, and how large payments could be. No legislative text outlining any potential limitations has been released.

He’ll throw a tantrum and stamp his little feet?
😃
If he were an honorable individual who believed and lived his oath of office, he would be supporting the payments.
pretty much guaranteed these two “cops” are being paid to front this lawfare against Trump admin
So a leftist activist Dem attorney group in D.C. is behind this.
But silence from the left when lefties got payouts:
“UC Davis students who were pepper-sprayed by campus police during the November 18, 2011 Occupy protest received $30,000 each.”
And no one objected to this:
Report: Soros foundation gave $80M to groups tied to ‘extremist violence’
Soros foundation denies they receive government funds, even though: “data indicate that certain affiliated or partner organizations within the broader Soros network have received significant government funding.”

standing?
Those guys are wusses and yes, I’ve been there and done that.
Maybe he’ll thrown himself on the tracks.
Two DC wannabe heroes. They think they saved the Capitol. ROTFLMAO! Low level security guards. Husky and Starch.
“...calling it an illegal slush fund and a violation of the Administrative Procedures Act.”
They fail to mention an illegal ELECTION!
I figured the most violent moment would have been when they shot the lady in the neck.
Exactly.
And guess who’s paying them, none other than George Soros.
Is this the CRY BABY COP?
democrats always have standing in their courts
“Standing?”
They don’t have any standing. The lawsuit will be tossed...eventually. They probably judge shopped.
“….widely regarded as one of the most violent moments of that day”
Hardly…..two were murdered. Ashlei Babbitt was shot in cold blood and Roseanne Boyland was trampled by cops.
Bring it.
