Washington — The Department of Justice announced this week the creation of a $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponisation Fund to compensate individuals who allege politically motivated investigations and prosecutions; the program was established under a settlement resolving a civil suit filed in January by President Trump and his sons over leaked tax returns. The fund, financed via the federal Judgment Fund set up in 1956, will remain in place until December 15, 2028, DOJ said Tuesday; officials asserted there are no partisan requirements to file claims, while lawmakers and commentators including Senator Ed Markey have raised legal and oversight concerns and signaled potential congressional review.

公众对司法部公正性的信心以及对政治与执法之间分离的看法,在批评者中已经受到侵蚀,这引发了政治上的强烈反对和要求监督的呼声。
