The Move Came After Bipartisan Objections Stalled Blanche's Confirmation for the Permanent AG

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told the Senate Judiciary Committee on July 15 that the Justice Department rescinded President Donald Trump's $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund, a reparation program for people claiming government wrongdoing. The move came after bipartisan objections stalled Blanche's confirmation for the permanent AG post. Trump insisted Saturday he'd still get some version of the fund and said Monday he didn't sign off on the rescission.
Senators Thom Tillis of North Carolina and John Cornyn of Texas forced the surrender but both leave the Senate in early 2027. The fund is the latest in Trump's attempts to control federal money, following Venezuelan oil accounts routed to Treasury, the Board of Peace for Gaza reconstruction requiring $1 billion contributions, and a proposed sovereign wealth fund. Tad DeHaven of the Cato Institute warned the presidency is normalizing treating money as an instrument of personal power.
