唐纳德·特朗普总统并未因自己政府的最新举措在国会彻底打乱其立法议程而退缩。

特朗普周五为本周早些时候由司法部(DOJ)设立的新“反武器化”基金辩护,一些共和党人将该基金称为“黑金”。他辩称,原本可能落入自己口袋的巨额资金,最终被转化为了惠及他人的“正义”。

“我放弃了巨额资金,任由刚刚宣布的反武器化基金顺利推进,”特朗普在Truth Social上写道。“我本可以就我的案件——包括非法泄露我的税务申报表以及同样非法的海湖庄园闯入事件——达成和解,拿到一大笔钱。”

“相反,我正在帮助那些被邪恶、腐败且滥用职权的拜登政府严重迫害的人们,终于迎来正义!唐纳德·特朗普总统,”他继续写道。

该基金源于特朗普及其家族与美国国税局(IRS)达成的协议,以了结他针对政府提起的100亿美元诉讼,该诉讼源于其税务信息被泄露一事。

据司法部介绍,这笔近18亿美元的基金将“建立一套系统化程序,审理并纠正那些遭受政治迫害和法律骚扰的人士的诉求”。

但该基金的设立破坏了特朗普政府在其任期内为移民海关执法局(ICE)和边境巡逻队提供资金的立法议程。共和党人认为,设立该基金的时机本可以延后。

“好吧,如果他们当时征询过意见,我认为他们肯定能从很多人那里得到大量建议,但现在木已成舟,”参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩说道。

“我们只能顺势而为,我们会从这里着手解决问题,但显然这条路比我们预期的更加复杂坎坷,”他补充道。

这是因为周四多数参议院共和党人对该基金缺乏明确监管限制提出了异议,不清楚2021年1月6日国会山骚乱期间袭击警察的定罪者是否可以提出索赔并获得纳税人资助的赔偿。

本周早些时候宣布的和解协议及随后设立的基金,打乱了原本旨在冲刺通过720亿美元大规模拨款法案的计划。原计划是在6月1日前将该法案提交特朗普签署。

但面临严峻政治逆风的共和党人并未对该基金的运作方式以及可以设置哪些监管限制的解释感到满意。

尽管政府辩称该基金与和解程序无关,但它与该程序密不可分,因为参议院司法委员会负责监督司法部,且在制定整体拨款法案中发挥了重要作用。

参议院要到特朗普设定的最后期限之后才会复会,议员们解决该问题并完成工作的可能性很低。

与此同时,参议院民主党人对这一结果表示欢迎。

参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人查克·舒默周四指责共和党人“逃离”华盛顿特区,并指责他们“互相攻击”。

“被他们自己的总统逼入绝境,共和党人已经走投无路,无处可藏,看不到尽头,”舒默说道。“共和党人摆脱困境的唯一办法,就是停止支持这个黑金计划。别再执迷不悟了。”

Trump doubles down on $1.8 billion ‘slush fund’ that killed his agenda, spurred Republican rebellion

President Donald Trump isn’t backing down from his administration’s latest move that has blown up his agenda in Congress.

Trump on Friday stood by the newly created “anti-weaponization” fund that some Republicans have described as a slush fund launched by the Department of Justice (DOJ) earlier this week. He argued that what could have been a massive payday for himself was converted into “justice” for others.

“I gave up a lot of money in allowing the just announced Anti-Weaponization Fund to go forward,” Trump said on Truth Social. “I could have settled my case, including the illegal release of my Tax Returns and the equally illegal BREAK IN of Mar-a-Lago, for an absolute fortune.”

“Instead, I am helping others who were so badly abused by an evil, corrupt, and weaponized Biden Administration, receive, at long last, JUSTICE! President DJT,” he continued.

The fund stemmed from an agreement among Trump, his family and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to settle his $10 billion lawsuit against the government over the leak of their tax returns.

The nearly $1.8 billion fund would “provide a systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare,” according to the DOJ.

But, its creation foiled his agenda in Congress to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Border Patrol throughout his term. Republicans contended that the timing could have waited.

“Well, it would have been nice if they had consulted, and I think they probably would have gotten plenty of advice from lots of folks about it, but it’s water under the bridge now,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said.

“And you play the hand you’re dealt, and we’ll sort it out from here, but obviously it became a more complicated and bumpy path than we hoped,” he continued.

That’s because the majority of Senate Republicans on Thursday took issue with a lack of clear guardrails on whether those convicted of assaulting police officers during the riots on Capitol Hill on Jan. 6, 2021, could make a claim and get a taxpayer-funded payout.

The announcement of the settlement and subsequent creation of the fund earlier this week derailed what was meant to be the last sprint to pass the massive, $72 billion package. The goal was to have the legislation on Trump’s desk by June 1.

But Republicans, facing severe political headwinds, weren’t satisfied with the explanations of how the fund would work and what guardrails could be installed.

And despite the administration’s argument that the fund has nothing to do with the reconciliation process, it is inextricably tied to the maneuver because the Senate Judiciary Committee oversees the DOJ and has played a major role in crafting the broader package.

The Senate doesn’t return until Trump’s deadline, and the likelihood that lawmakers solve the issue and finish their work is low.

Meanwhile, Senate Democrats cheered the result.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., accused Republicans of “fleeing” from Washington, D.C., on Thursday, and charged that “they’re at each other’s throats.”

“Trapped in a corner by their own president, Republicans have their backs to the wall with no way out. Nowhere to hide. No end in sight,” Schumer said. “The only way for Republicans to get out of this box is to stop backing the slush fund. Stop pushing the ballroom.”
