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.
