Two Jan. 6 police officers sue Trump to block $1.8B lawfare fund
Two police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot sued President Donald Trump on Wednesday, seeking to block the $1.8 billion “lawfare” fund set up by the Department of Justice to compensate Trump allies who claim they were victims of prosecutorial overreach.“In the most brazen act of presidential corruption this century, President Donald J. Trump has created a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to finance the insurrectionists and paramilitary groups that commit violence in his name,” the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., says.
“The fund, styled the ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund,’ is illegal,” the suit alleges.
“No statute authorizes its creation, the settlement on which it is premised is a corrupt sham, and its design violates the Constitution and federal law.”

The Department of Justice agreed to create the fund to settle a $10 billion lawsuit by President Trump over the leak of his tax records by an IRS employee.
I'm with the policemen, who still must be seething that members of the J/6 mob were pardoned. You know, members who included those who violently assaulted Capital policemen.
One way or another I hope this abomination of a fund is extinguished before a single dime gets dispensed to those who object to their crimes being punished.
