参议院民主党人正发起协同行动，欲废除特朗普政府规模超17亿美元的“反武器化基金”。在周一发布的一份“致同僚”信件中，参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默表示，民主党将动用从议会程序性动作到监督审查等多种策略，阻止特朗普总统的“近20亿美元的‘MAGA分肥基金’”。
“如果共和党人动用和解程序，我们将随时提出修正案终止该基金，”舒默写道。“如果他们试图掩盖此事，我们将迫使他们拿到参议院议会辩论。如果他们试图悄悄塞进拨款法案，我们也会在那里进行抗争。他们没有任何退路。没有任何虚假的保障措施或幕后承诺可以让他们逃避责任。”
此外，三名民主党参议员将于周一提出一项法案，旨在终止该基金，并阻止纳税人资金支付给总统及其盟友，包括那些已被定罪的人员或与1月6日国会山袭击事件有关联的人员。这项被命名为《铲除分肥基金法案》的提案，由加利福尼亚州参议员亚当·希夫、亚利桑那州参议员马克·凯利以及密歇根州参议员埃莉萨·斯洛特金共同发起。
“随着共和党人返回华盛顿，为这一项目和其他错误的优先事项提供进一步 funding，我们将追究他们的责任，”希夫说。“作为亲身经历过政府被用来对付自己的参议员，我们想要明确表明：我们不会允许从这个所谓的‘反武器化基金’中拨付任何一笔款项。”
上周，一名联邦法官临时阻止司法部推进该基金的相关工作。司法部发言人表示，司法部“仍对‘反武器化基金’的合法性抱有极大信心，该基金有充足的先例支撑，包括奥巴马时代的和解案例”。
这笔17.76亿美元的基金将向那些声称司法系统被“武器化”针对自己的人提供纳税人资助的赔偿。它是特朗普总统与联邦政府之间和解协议的一部分，旨在解决他针对国税局和财政部泄露其纳税申报单的诉讼。
参议院共和党人正考虑为该基金添加潜在的保障条款，将其作为针对移民执法机构的720亿美元综合和解方案的一部分。上月，在与代理司法部长托德·布兰奇就司法部基金问题举行激烈会议后，共和党领导人取消了该党派议案的程序性投票。
“他们（特朗普政府）需要协助解决这个问题，因为我们有很多议员对此感到担忧，”多数党领袖约翰·图恩当时对记者表示。
布兰奇本周将返回国会山，出席众议院拨款小组委员会的监督听证会。
Senate Democrats launch campaign to kill what DOJ calls its “anti-weaponization fund”

Senate Democrats are launching a coordinated effort to kill the Trump administration’s $1.7+ billion “anti-weaponization fund.“ In a “Dear Colleague” letter released Monday, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats will use a variety of strategies, from floor action to oversight, to block President Trump’s “nearly $2 billion MAGA slush fund.”
“If Republicans return to reconciliation, we will be ready with amendments to shut the fund down,” Schumer wrote. “If they try to bury the issue, we will force them to the Senate floor. If they try to sneak behind appropriations, we will fight them there, too. There will be no escape hatch. No fake guardrails or backroom promises to hide behind.”
In addition, a trio of Democratic Senators are introducing a bill Monday to shut down the fund and prevent taxpayer dollars from being paid to the president or his allies, including those convicted of crimes or related to the January 6th attack on the Capitol. The measure, dubbed the Drain the Slush Fund Act, is sponsored by Sens. Adam Schiff, of California, Mark Kelly, of Arizona, and Elissa Slotkin, of Michigan.
“As Republicans return to Washington to provide further funding for this and other mistaken priorities, we’re going to hold them accountable,” Schiff said. “And as Senators who have actually seen their government weaponized against them, we want to make it clear: We will not allow a single payout from this so-called weaponization fund to be paid.”
Last week, a federal judge temporarily blocked the Justice Department from moving forward with work on the new fund. A department spokesperson said it “remains extremely confident in the legality of the Anti-Weaponization Fund which is supported by ample precedent, including Obama-era settlements.”
The $1.776 billion fund would provide taxpayer-funded payouts to people who allege the legal system has been “weaponized” against them. It’s part of an agreement between President Trump and the federal government to settle his lawsuit against the IRS and Treasury Department over the leak of his tax returns.
Senate Republicans are considering adding potential guardrails to the fund as part of a broader $72 billion reconciliation package for immigration enforcement agencies. GOP leaders scrapped votes on the party-line measure last month after a contentious meeting over the DOJ fund with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
“They (Trump administration) need to help with this issue, because we have a lot of members who are concerned,” Majority Leader John Thune told reporters at the time.
Blanche will return to Capitol Hill this week for an oversight hearing before a House Appropriations subcommittee.
