Trump Scraps 'Weaponization' Fund

The Trump administration is abandoning its controversial $1.8 billion 'weaponization' fund, US Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told lawmakers.

This decision follows significant backlash from Republican senators who opposed the fund, which was intended to compensate victims of alleged government 'weaponization'.

The move marks a rare instance of President Trump backing down from a policy initiative due to internal party opposition.
