Trump Administration Officials Refuse to Sign Document Affirming End of 'Anti-Weaponization Fund'

A U.S. Justice Department attorney notified a federal court on June 19, 2026, that Trump administration officials deemed it 'unnecessary' to sign a document under penalty of perjury affirming the abandonment of a proposed $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund.' The fund, intended to compensate individuals claiming to be targeted by the federal government, had been blocked by a federal judge who sought formal assurances that it would not proceed in any manner.
