美国一名联邦法官周三驳回了叫停特朗普政府“反武器化基金”的请求，认可了政府的说法：代理司法部长托德·布兰奇已经承诺不会推进这项备受争议的17.76亿美元基金。
但在一场庭审中，美国地区法官理查德·利昂向司法部发出警告：“不要在本法庭面前装死。”
利昂拒绝发布临时禁制令的决定，是司法部在针对反武器化基金的一系列诉讼中取得的早期胜利。该基金于上月公布，旨在和解特朗普总统就其税务信息泄露起诉美国国税局的诉讼。该基金的职责是向据称遭受政府迫害的受害者支付赔偿，但遭到两党反对，民主党人将其斥之为特朗普盟友的“秘密政治资金”。
布兰奇上周在国会听证会上作证称，在共和党施压以及另一诉讼中法院作出临时阻止政府推进该基金的裁决后，司法部“不会推进该基金”。
自那以后，政府方面辩称，法院应当驳回针对该基金的其他诉讼，因为布兰奇已经宣布该基金夭折，相关案件已无实际意义。
在周三的庭审中，利昂支持政府一方，反对监管组织“华盛顿公民责任与道德”。该组织此前提起诉讼，称该基金“公然违法”。法官表示，他“不认为仍存在实质性争议”，理由是政府方面称该基金不会推进。
利昂表示，他将单独就该组织提出的初步禁令请求作出裁决。
该组织的律师尼克赫尔·萨斯在法庭上辩称，该基金的章程仍然“完全有效”，修改必须经所有各方书面作出。他表示，布兰奇的声明并非法律上有效的政策撤销，并指出特朗普总统尚未宣布该基金夭折。
法官指出，特朗普“这么做可能是出于政治利益”。
当法官询问司法部律师安德鲁·布洛克，政府为何不书面撤销设立该基金的命令时，布洛克表示他并不知情：“我只知道代理司法部长已经表示该基金不会推进。”
布洛克辩称，该案已无实际意义，原告没有诉讼资格，且尚未到司法审查的成熟阶段。他表示，负责管理该基金的五人委员会尚未任命任何成员，未通过任何程序，未收到任何索赔，也未拨付任何资金。
某一时刻，华盛顿公民责任与道德组织的律师指出，布兰奇在向众议院拨款委员会作证时拒绝书面撤销该基金。
“这极不寻常，”萨斯说。
“说轻点，整个案子都很不寻常，”利昂说。

Judge declines to halt “anti-weaponization fund” since Blanche says it’s dead, but warns DOJ not to “play possum”

A federal judge on Wednesday denied a request to block the Trump administration’s “anti-weaponization fund,” accepting the government’s argument that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche had already vowed not to move forward with the controversial $1.776 billion fund.
But in a court hearing, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon issued a warning to the Justice Department: “Don’t play possum with this court.”
Leon’s decision not to issue a temporary restraining order marked an early victory for the Justice Department in one of the lawsuits it’s facing over the anti-weaponization fund, which was unveiled last month to settle a suit that President Trump filed against the IRS over the leak of his tax returns. The fund — tasked with paying claims to alleged victims of government persecution — drew bipartisan pushback, with Democrats casting it as a “slush fund” for Trump allies.
Blanche testified during a congressional hearing last week that the Justice Department is “not moving forward with the fund,” following pressure from Republicans and a ruling in a separate lawsuit that temporarily blocked the government from moving forward.
Since then, the government has argued that courts should reject other lawsuits against the fund because Blanche has already declared it dead, making the cases moot.
During Wednesday’s hearing, Leon sided with the government over the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which had filed a lawsuit calling the fund “brazenly illegal.” The judge said he is “not persuaded a live controversy remains,” citing the government’s representations that the fund is not moving forward.
Leon said he will decide separately about the group’s request for a preliminary injunction.
A lawyer for the group, Nikhel Sus, argued in court that the fund’s charter remains “in full force and effect,” and modifications must be made in writing by all parties. He said Blanche’s statement is not a legally valid rescission of the policy, and noted that Mr. Trump hasn’t said the fund is dead.
The judge noted that Mr. Trump “may be doing what he’s doing for political benefit.”
When the judge asked the Justice Department’s attorney, Andrew Block, why the government would not rescind the order creating the fund, he said he didn’t know: “All I know is that the acting attorney general has said the fund is not moving forward.”
Block argued the case is moot, there is no standing and it is not ripe for judicial review. He said no members of the five-person board to administer the fund have been appointed, no processes have been adopted, no claims have been submitted and no money has been sent out.
At one point, the lawyer for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington pointed out that Blanche declined to rescind the fund in writing when he testified to the House Appropriations Committee.
“This is highly unusual,” Sus said.
“This whole case is unusual, to say the least,” Leon said.
