President Trump says he is not sure whether a proposed “anti-weaponization” fund is dead, after the acting attorney general said the Justice Department is not moving forward with it. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Tuesday that there are no plans to proceed with the $1.8 billion fund, indicating the federal effort is effectively paused or withdrawn. In the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump was asked whether the fund is no longer viable or merely on hold. He did not provide a direct confirmation or reversal of the Justice Department’s stance, instead saying he would need to consult attorneys and that he did not know the answer. The reporting reflects a difference in tone between the Justice Department’s position, presented as a decision not to move forward, and Trump’s comment, which suggests ongoing uncertainty about the fund’s legal or administrative status. Both accounts center on the same figure, the same fund amount, and the same initial statement from Blanche, while differing mainly in what Trump says about whether it is conclusively ended.
