Justice Department Drops $1.8 Billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' After Court Block and GOP Backlash

The Justice Department is backing away from a proposed $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” after a federal judge temporarily blocked it and Republicans in Congress revolted over the plan, according to reports from The Independent and Politico. The move came as President Donald Trump met with House Speaker Mike Johnson at the White House, underscoring how the issue had become a political headache for the administration.
