Two former law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol sue President Donald Trump’s administration to block a planned Justice Department “anti-weaponization” fund valued at about $1.8 billion. The plaintiffs are former U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges. According to the lawsuit, the fund is designed to compensate people the president characterizes as victims of “prosecutorial overreach” or “weaponization.” The officers argue the structure and purpose of the program are improper and would amount to rewarding participants and supporters of the January 6 violence. Multiple outlets report the plaintiffs contend the money functions like a slush fund, and they warn it could benefit extremist groups. Coverage also notes the officers are seeking to freeze or block the creation of the fund while the case proceeds. The administration has not been characterized in these reports as conceding wrongdoing, but the plaintiffs’ central claim is that the fund is being used for political purposes rather than lawful compensation.
