Michael Caputo, a longtime ally of President Trump and former Trump administration official, files what multiple outlets describe as the first known claim to receive money from the U.S. Department of Justice’s “anti-weaponization” fund. NBC News reports that Caputo, a former Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson, submits the initial claim a day after the DOJ establishes the fund, which is described as nearly $1.8 billion. CBS News similarly reports that Caputo files for compensation from the newly created fund and identifies him as a former Trump official. The Hill adds that Caputo’s filing is made on Tuesday and that he requests $2.7 million in restitution, tied to claims involving him and unspecified others. Across the reports, the central points are that the DOJ creates the fund following a settlement connected to President Trump, and that Caputo is the first publicly reported claimant seeking compensation. The outlets do not indicate that the claim has been approved, only that it has been filed as part of the process to obtain restitution from the fund.
