Federal Judge Halts Work On Trump’s ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund’

Jim McGovern (D-Mass. ) introduced an amendment that would have prohibited individuals charged or convicted in connection with the Capitol riot from receiving any compensation through the program, reports said.

“I move the committee add a new section to the rule providing immediate consideration of HR 7711, the No Rewards for January 6 Rioters Act, so this bill would prohibit the use of federal funds to compensate individuals who were prosecuted for their involvement in the attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021,” said McGovern. “Additionally, my motion would self-execute an amendment that would require the attorney general of the United States to disclose any payments made by the so-called anti-weaponization fund, which was created by the corrupt settlement agreement between Donald Trump and his own administration,” he continued.
