Federal Judge Halts Trump's $1.776B "Anti-Weaponization Fund" — No Money Can Move While Lawsuits Proceed
U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema blocked the DOJ from transferring money to, reviewing claims for, or disbursing payments from the $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund — freezing it entirely while lawsuits proceed. The ruling came in a suit filed by former Jan. 6 prosecutor Andrew Floyd and others, represented by Democracy Forward. Three separate lawsuits now challenge the fund. A coalition of 35 former federal judges urged a separate court to reopen the original IRS settlement and examine whether it was fraud. Hearing set for June 12.
Trump Made 3,700 Stock Trades Worth Up to $750 Million — Then His Government Handed Those Companies Contracts and Favors
Financial disclosures reveal Trump made over 3,700 stock trades in Q1 2026 totaling $220M-$750M. The pattern: buy stock, then promote the company or award it a government contract. He bought up to $5M in Dell, told Americans to "buy a Dell computer," then the Pentagon gave Dell a $9.7B contract. He bought TKO (UFC's parent) stock, then staged a UFC fight on the White House lawn. He bought AMD stock on January 6 — a week before Commerce authorized AMD to sell chips to China. He bought Oracle stock as his administration helped Oracle secure TikTok. Jim Cramer was speechless. His investments are not in a blind trust. JD Vance's defense: "The president doesn't sit at the Oval Office on his Robinhood account." The fine for missing his disclosure deadline: $200.
