代理司法部长托德·布兰奇在周二众议院拨款委员会的听证会上宣布,美国司法部将放弃设立反武器化基金的努力。
该基金源于总统唐纳德·特朗普与美国国税局之间的一起诉讼,在一名联邦法官发布临时禁令阻止其设立后被搁置。布兰奇作证称,原定于6月12日举行的关于反武器化基金法律依据的听证会将不再举行。
“我们不会推进该基金的设立,就是这样,”布兰奇说。“设立该基金的初衷,特朗普总统已经谈论了很长时间,也就是这个国家有很多人遭遇政府武器化针对他们的情况。我认为,设立该基金的理由依然和以前一样重要,但我们不会推进该基金的设立。”

今年5月中旬宣布设立该基金时,美国司法部将其描述为一个机会,让被此前几届政府认定为法律战受害者的个人获得赔偿,无论其政治派别如何。反武器化基金是特朗普政府与美国国税局就泄露特朗普税单问题达成的和解协议的一部分。
和解协议并未直接提供赔偿,而是要求设立一个17.76亿美元的基金。分配将由布兰奇任命的五人委员会决定,资金将来自“判决基金”,该基金用于支付联邦政府的和解款项。批评者称这是一个“黑金基金”,将使总统及其支持者受益。

在听证会上,布兰奇表示,在诉讼 ongoing 期间,尚未开展任何设立反武器化基金的工作。截至目前,已有三起针对该基金的诉讼被提起。
“民主向前”组织对美国司法部提起诉讼,质疑反武器化基金的设立,辩称政府不当试图利用联邦判决基金——该基金旨在支付针对政府的法院判决和和解款项——来设立一个新的赔偿项目,且未获得国会批准。这起诉讼成为对该基金最重大的挑战,并导致美国地区法官莱奥妮·布林克马于5月29日发布临时禁令,在法院审理此案期间暂停该计划的实施。

在发布临时限制令时,布林克马认定,原告提出了严肃的法律问题:行政部门是否有权在未经国会批准的情况下设立和资助反武器化基金。她还表示,允许该计划推进可能导致在法院有机会全面审查该基金的合法性之前,纳税人的资金就已被拨付。

Todd Blanche says DOJ will not move forward with Anti-Weaponization Fund
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told lawmakers the Justice Department is abandoning plans for the Anti-Weaponization Fund, ending the effort after a federal judge temporarily blocked its creation.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that the Justice Department is abandoning its efforts to create the Anti-Weaponization Fund during a House Appropriations Committee hearing Tuesday.
The fund, which stemmed from a lawsuit between President Donald Trump and the Internal Revenue Service, was put on hold after a federal judge issued a temporary injunction blocking its creation. A hearing on the Anti-Weaponization Fund’s legal basis had been scheduled for June 12, but it will no longer take place, Blanche testified.
“We are not moving forward with the fund, period,” Blanche said. “The reasons for the fund are something that President Trump has talked about for a long time, which is the fact that there were a lot of people in this country who had their government weaponized against them. The reasons for the fund, I think, remain as important as they were before, but, we are not moving forward with the fund.”

When announcing the fund’s creation in mid-May, the Justice Department described it as an opportunity for individuals deemed to be victims of lawfare by previous administrations to receive restitution, regardless of their political affiliation. The Anti-Weaponization Fund was created as part of a settlement between the Trump administration and the Internal Revenue Service over the disclosure of Trump’s tax returns.
Rather than receiving direct compensation, the settlement called for the creation of a $1.776 billion fund. Distributions would be determined by a five-member board appointed by Blanche, and the funding would come from the Judgment Fund, which is used to pay for federal government settlements. Critics called it a “slush fund” that would benefit the president and his supporters.

During the hearing, Blanche stated that no work on establishing the Anti-Weaponization Fund had begun amid ongoing litigation. To date, three separate lawsuits have been filed challenging the fund.
Democracy Forward filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department challenging the creation of the Anti-Weaponization Fund, arguing that the administration improperly sought to use the Federal Judgment Fund — which is intended to pay court judgments and settlements against the government — to establish a new compensation program without congressional approval. The lawsuit became the most significant challenge to the fund and led U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema to issue a temporary injunction on May 29, halting the program’s implementation while the court considered the case.

In granting the temporary restraining order, Brinkema found that the plaintiffs had raised serious legal questions about whether the executive branch had the authority to create and fund the Anti-Weaponization Fund without congressional approval. She also expressed concern that allowing the program to move forward could result in taxpayer money being distributed before the court had an opportunity to fully review the fund’s legality.

The Justice Department has not yet announced whether it will formally dissolve the fund, withdraw related filings or seek dismissal of the pending lawsuits following Blanche’s announcement.
