Trump Gets $1.7 Billion ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund’ After Dropping IRS Suit

Summary: President Donald Trump dropped a $10 billion lawsuit against his own government. In return, the Justice Department created a $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization fund." Trump won't get the money directly. Instead, it will be used to pay people who claim the government unfairly targeted them. Critics and Democrats are angry, calling it a "slush fund" to reward his allies, including people involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. They say it is highly corrupt for a president to make a deal with a government agency he controls.
