Sen. Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican, and Sen. Cory Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, urge a federal judge to keep blocking the Trump administration’s nearly $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund. The lawmakers argue that the fund violates the Constitution and raise concerns about how the money would be used and who would receive payouts. They frame the effort as both an immediate legal challenge and part of an ongoing dispute over the administration’s proposal. The Hill reports that Cassidy and Booker join litigation over the payouts even as the administration appears to be pulling back on the idea of the fund. CBS News similarly reports that the bipartisan pair tells the court the program conflicts with multiple constitutional provisions. Together, the sources describe a coordinated congressional push to prevent the fund from moving forward while the legal process continues. No additional details about the specific constitutional claims or the fund’s eventual status are provided beyond the lawmakers’ request for judicial intervention and the reported amount at issue.
