Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche rescinds President Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund,” issuing a formal order late Sunday. Multiple outlets report the move follows a weekslong standoff with senators who had threatened to block Blanche’s nomination process unless concerns about the fund were addressed. NBC News describes Blanche announcing a deal with holdout senators, after meetings and discussions to resolve questions, and then publicly issuing the rescission order. NPR and Japan Today also characterize the fund as intended to provide compensation to Trump’s political allies, and they note Blanche’s order ends the initiative that had been in place in connection with the administration’s broader legal and immunity efforts. The Jerusalem Post reports that Trump had said as recently as last week that the fund was already “dead,” though outlets agree that Blanche’s rescission order is a decisive, formal step. Bloomberg adds that Blanche’s announcement also includes further clarification related to the scope of Trump’s sweeping immunity deal with the Internal Revenue Service, though the fund itself is terminated by the new order.
