DOJ Confirms ‘Anti-Weaponization’ Fund is Not Proceeding, Requests Rejection of Lawsuits

In a court filing, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has confirmed that the proposed “anti-weaponization” fund, valued at $1.8 billion, will not be moving forward. The fund was initially intended to provide financial assistance to victims of alleged weaponization of US intelligence.

The DOJ has submitted written requests to courts seeking the rejection of lawsuits related to the fund’s cancellation. This move comes as part of an effort to finalize the closure of the program.

Separately, the Trump administration has put in writing to courts that the $1.8 billion ‘anti-weaponization’ fund is dead. The Senate had previously defeated a plan to rebrand the fund as an “anti-fraud” initiative.

The DOJ’s decision on the fund’s fate marks the end of a program that was initially established during the Trump administration. The program aimed to provide financial assistance to victims of alleged weaponization of US intelligence, but its future was uncertain due to various factors.

As part of its efforts to finalize the closure of the program, the DOJ has submitted written requests to courts seeking the rejection of lawsuits related to the fund’s cancellation. This move is intended to bring an end to ongoing litigation and ensure that the program is formally closed.

The details surrounding the fund’s cancellation are still emerging, but it appears that the program will not be moving forward as initially planned. The DOJ has confirmed that the $1.8 billion ‘anti-weaponization’ fund is dead, and efforts are underway to finalize its closure.
