A federal judge is again directing the Justice Department to formally address whether the Trump administration's "Anti-Weaponization Fund" is dead, as the agency has claimed.
The order, filed Wednesday by District Judge Leonie Brinkema, comes after the Justice Department refused to issue a signed declaration verifying the $1.8 billion fund was not moving forward.
In her order, Brinkema said she is not satisfied with the DOJ's contention that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's recent testimony before Congress is proof enough that the fund is dead.
"That the defendants have refused to accord a genuine degree of trustworthiness to their representations about the Fund not going forward is particularly concerning because of the President's consistent support for the Fund and Acting Attorney General Blanche's acknowledgement that the Fund remains 'important,'" Brinkema wrote.
She is demanding that the DOJ file papers issuing another response in the coming weeks and hinted in her order that Blanche may have to answer questions about his plans for the fund in a deposition.
The $1.776 billion fund was announced in May by the Justice Department to compensate those who allege they were wrongly targeted under the Biden administration.
It was proposed in exchange for President Donald Trump agreeing to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS as well as two civil claims for $230 million related to the Russia collusion investigation he faced during his first term in office and the 2022 search of his Mar-a-Lago estate -- sparking accusations of self-dealing and a bipartisan uproar over the possible use of taxpayer money to pay rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

“Prove that you’re not doing something.”
I created a Key Word: Judge Blocks Trump
https://freerepublic.com/focus/search?m=all;o=time;q=quick;s=judge%20blocks%20trump
Look at all the judges blocking Trump’s agenda..............
I would question her jurisdiction.
Bttt
imagine the DOJ actually demanding their verdicts are upheld and enacted.
ie:
diversity scores for university admission forms (design to keep out a majority of white males)
The federal judiciary doesn’t even bother with process at this point. No plaintiff needed. If Trump does it by 9PM, a judge rules against it by 6AM. It’s dangerously out of control, and it’s not Trump that’s the problem. Trump alone as one man can keep 1,000 federal judges in a persistent sleepless fret, as they trap-shoot his executive policies and orders like clay pigeons.
Maybe Trump could reverse-psychology them.
Make a bunch of EOs with an apparent meaning, but with a hidden opposite meaning.
And when they are opposed, the real meaning is effective.
That’s quite a list of judges blocking something Trump tried to enact. I can’t confirm it, but I suspect it’s unprecedented.
This emergent judicial oligarchy will soon be our undoing.
We do not sufficiently despise Congress.
Ignore her.
How about an Executive Order stating that District Court judges who issue universal injunctions will be ignored? Semi-joking
It really is time to start telling these Leftist judges who are making decisions on their politics, rather than the law or Constitution, to go F themselves.
Ignore this broad.
L
“Yes, your Honor. We’ve decided to close the ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund’. We have, however, opened ‘The Human Fund’ if you’d care to donate. It’s people helping people!”
Why are foreigners allowed to become judges?
These names are impossible to pronounce in almost every instance.
Funny the coward GOP Congress agrees with her.
I don’t care about 2026 with these jerks.
And the GOP wonders why they have a turnout problem.
The party of “no kings” thoroughly embraces these judges ruling with finality on topics they have no dominion over with power they have arrogated to themselves.
Then they blame us.
