Trump's 'Anti-Weaponization' Fund Halted

President Trump's controversial $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund has been put on hold following a court order and bipartisan opposition from Congress.

The Justice Department has agreed to abide by the ruling, marking a rare setback for the administration.

Democrats and some Republicans have criticized the fund, intended to compensate alleged victims of government 'weaponization,' as a 'slush fund.' This decision comes amid broader political challenges for Trump, including ongoing Iran talks and a tightening bond market.
