A judge issued a stern warning to Donald Trump’s Department of Justice not to go back on its word that the president’s Jan. 6 slush fund was dead on arrival.

The DOJ last month announced the creation of a https://www.thedailybeast.com/jaw-dropping-details-of-donald-trumps-17b-maga-slush-fund-exposed/" rel="">$1.776 billion fund that would make secret payments to Capitol rioters and other Trump allies who say they were wrongly prosecuted by the Biden administration, without any legal or congressional oversight.

The fund was created as part of a https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-donald-trumps-18-billion-slush-fund-scam-is-even-more-insane-than-it-seems/" rel="">dubious “settlement agreement” arising from a $10 billion lawsuit Trump brought against the Internal Revenue Service over tax returns leaked to the press by an independent contractor.
