华盛顿讯—— 美国司法部周五敦促两名联邦法官驳回旨在叫停其17亿美元“反武器化基金”的诉讼，辩称针对该计划的诉讼已无实际意义，因为代理司法部长托德·布兰奇已明确表示该基金不会推进。
司法部周五提交的文件似乎是特朗普政府首次以书面形式表明反武器化基金将不会继续实施。
在提交给弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市和华盛顿特区联邦法院的两份文件中，司法部高级官员写道，挑战该基金的两批原告不具备合法诉讼资格，并表示法院面前已不存在实际争议。
“本次争议涉及的反武器化基金既未设立，如今也不会推进。因此，原告的主张不具有可裁判性，”司法部在两份文件中均如此写道，两份文件均由助理司法部长斯坦利·伍德沃德及其高级顾问安德鲁·布洛克签署。
他们进一步辩称，如果法院采纳原告的主张，“法院实际上将推翻一项更可取的政治决议”。
华盛顿特区的诉讼由政府监督组织“华盛顿伦理与责任公民”提起。弗吉尼亚州的诉讼则由多名原告提起，其中包括一名曾参与2021年1月6日美国国会大厦袭击事件相关案件的前检察官。
上周，针对弗吉尼亚州的诉讼，美国地区法官莱奥妮·布林克马暂时阻止司法部推进该基金，以“确保不会从该基金中不可撤销地拨付资金”，同时她将考虑是否批准原告寻求的长期禁令。
司法部周五提交的文件请求布林克马驳回原告提出的对反武器化基金实施长期禁令的请求。
他们辩称，原告正要求法院“在一场政治辩论中拥有最终话语权”。
司法部律师在两份文件中均写道：“公平与公共利益并不支持本院介入政治程序，去叫停一项本就不会推进的基金。该基金曾引发激烈的公开辩论。这一过程可能看起来杂乱无章，但这类辩论的推拉互动是我们宪政共和国的一大特征。”
尽管两批原告提出的主张各不相同，但司法部辩称，双方的诉求在实质层面均不太可能获得支持。
布兰奇周二曾对众议院一个委员会表示，司法部不会推进该计划。但当时布兰奇拒绝将这一承诺书面化，这引发了一些议员的质疑，他们怀疑反武器化基金是否可能被重启。
特朗普总统周三也继续为该计划辩护，称其是“一件美好的事”。
该计划是作为解决特朗普针对美国国税局的民事诉讼的一部分而推出的，该诉讼源于一名政府承包商泄露特朗普的纳税申报单。根据协议条款，该基金将获得17亿美元，用于向“法律战和武器化行为”的受害者提供奖励。
但1月6日国会大厦袭击事件的相关涉案人员有可能获得拨款的消息，引发了两党议员对该基金的强烈反对。这一反对曾威胁要破坏共和党为部分移民机构提供资金的700亿美元立法提案，但参议院周五凌晨在未对该基金设置任何限制条款的情况下通过了该计划。
布兰奇本周早些时候对议员们表示，特朗普与国税局和解协议的其他条款仍然有效，其中包括一项永久禁止国税局根据此前的纳税申报单对特朗普及其公司采取行动的条款。
DOJ confirms in court papers the “anti-weaponization fund” isn’t going forward, asks judges to reject lawsuits
June 5, 2026 / 5:29 PM EDT / CBS News
Washington — The Justice Department on Friday urged a pair of federal judges to reject efforts to block its $1.7 billion “anti-weaponization fund,” arguing that the cases challenging the program are moot because of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s assertions that the fund is not going forward.
The Justice Department’s filings Friday appear to be the first time the Trump administration has indicated in writing that the anti-weaponization fund will not continue.
In two filings with federal courts in Alexandria, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., senior officials with the Justice Department wrote that two sets of plaintiffs challenging the fund do not have the legal right to sue, and said there is no longer a live issue before the courts.
“This dispute concerns an Anti-Weaponization Fund that had not been set up and is now not going forward. As a result, Plaintiffs’ claims are not justiciable,” the Justice Department wrote in both filings, which were signed by Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward and Andrew Block, his senior counsel.
They went on to argue that if the court were to accept the plaintiffs’ arguments, “the court would effectively unwind a preferable political resolution.”
The Washington, D.C., case was filed by a government watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. The Virginia case was brought by several plaintiffs, including a former prosecutor who worked on cases stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Last week, in response to the Virginia lawsuit, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema temporarily blocked the Justice Department from moving forward with the fund “to ensure that no funds are irreversibly disbursed” from it while she weighs whether to issue longer-term relief sought by the plaintiffs.
The Justice Department’s Friday filings ask Brinkema to reject the plaintiffs’ requests for a longer-term block on the anti-weaponization fund.
They argued that the plaintiffs are asking the court “to have the last word in a political debate.”
“The equities and the public interest do not favor this Court interjecting itself in a political process to shut down a Fund that is already not going forward,” Justice Department lawyers wrote in both of the filings. “The Fund has been the subject of vigorous public debate. That process may seem messy. But the push-and-pull of such debate is a feature of our constitutional republic.”
While the claims raised by each set of plaintiffs are different, the Justice Department argued that neither are likely to succeed on the merits of their arguments.
Blanche told a House committee Tuesday that the Justice Department is “not moving forward” with the program. But at the time, Blanche refused to commit that promise to writing, raising skepticism from some lawmakers as to whether the anti-weaponization fund could be resurrected.
President Trump has also continued to defend the program, calling it a “beautiful thing” on Wednesday.
The program was rolled out as part of a deal to settle Mr. Trump’s civil lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his tax returns by a government contractor. Under the terms of the agreement, the fund would receive $1.7 billion, which would be used to provide awards to people who were the victims of “lawfare and weaponization.”
But the potential for those involved in the Jan. 6 assault to receive payouts led to immense pushback against the fund from Republican and Democratic lawmakers. That opposition threatened to derail Republicans’ $70 billion legislative package to fund certain immigration agencies, but the Senate approved the plan early Friday morning without imposing any guardrails on the fund.
Blanche told lawmakers earlier this week that other parts of the Trump-IRS settlement remain in place, including a provision that permanently bars the IRS from taking action against Mr. Trump or his company based on prior tax returns.
