Vance defends DOJ's nearly $1.8B 'weaponization' fund

(The Center Square) - Vice President JD Vance defended a nearly $1.8 billion taxpayer fund through the U.S. Department of Justice aimed at supporting victims of "lawfare and weaponization."

The $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" would support individuals who have been targeted by "lawfare and weaponization," according to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. The fund came out of the settlement of a $10 billion lawsuit between President Donald Trump and the IRS over the leaking of his tax returns.
