Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who is Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer, said early this week that he was creating the fund as part of a settlement of Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service.
Trump got no money in that settlement, but the fund is aimed at compensating many of his supporters who allege they were victims of prosecutorial overreach by the DOJ under the Biden administration.
“I gave up a lot of money in allowing the just announced Anti-Weaponization Fund to go forward,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
“I could have settled my case, including the illegal release of my Tax Returns and the equally illegal BREAK IN of Mar-a-Lago, for an absolute fortune,” Trump said. ” Instead, I am helping others, who were so badly abused by an evil, corrupt, and weaponized Biden Administration, receive, at long last, JUSTICE!”
