代理司法部长为17.76亿美元的“反武器化基金”辩护，该基金旨在赔偿那些声称受到政治攻击的人
Read, Watch or Listen
WASHINGTON — Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche testified before a Senate appropriations subcommittee Tuesday defending a plan announced Monday to create a $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund intended to compensate people who say they were politically targeted; Blanche, who assumed control of the Justice Department weeks earlier, answered lawmakers' questions about the fund's scope. Senators pressed Blanche this week about critics' claims that the fund could represent an illegal use of taxpayer dollars and might include individuals charged in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot; Blanche said eligibility would be broad, that payouts would be determined by a five-member commission appointed by the attorney general, and the hearing also reviewed the department's budget request.
