Senate Democrat on fund for Trump allies: ‘One more day in the worst presidency in American history
The Hill and NBC News report the Justice Department is creating an "anti-weaponization fund" valued at $1.776 billion to compensate allies of former President Trump who say they were targeted by the Biden administration.

The Hill coverage emphasizes the fund as part of a settlement and Bennet’s criticism calling it “one more day in the worst presidency in American history.” Disagreements center on framing and attribution rather than the core fact of the fund’s existence and size.
The articles indicate a concrete downstream impact: the DOJ is authorizing an anti-weaponization fund valued at $1.776 billion to compensate Trump allies who allee deemed targeted, with claims already being filed (Caputo seeking $2.7 million), suggesting a measurable financial obligation tied to a settlement and potential political and legal implications for those aligned with Trump, per The Hill and NBC News.
