华盛顿专电 特朗普总统周五为美国司法部新设立的17亿美元“反武器化”基金辩护,并表示自己曾“批准”该基金推进,就在几天前,这位总统还声称自己并未参与该基金的设立。
在Truth Social平台的一篇发帖中,特朗普先生表示,他本可以在针对国税局的民事诉讼和解中获得巨额赔偿——该诉讼源于其税单信息泄露。但他最终决定帮助那些他所称的被拜登政府不公平针对的人。
“我放弃了巨额资金,才批准了刚刚宣布的反武器化基金落地,”这位总统写道。“我本可以就我的案件达成和解,包括非法泄露我的税单以及同样非法的闯入海湖庄园事件,从而获得一笔巨款。但相反,我正在帮助那些被邪恶、腐败且被武器化的拜登政府严重迫害的人们,让他们终于得到正义!”
本周早些时候,特朗普曾两次声称自己未参与其诉讼的和解以及司法部周一宣布的该基金的设立。
“这项基金反响非常好,我得说。我对此了解不多。我完全没有参与它的设立和谈判,”他周一在一场活动中谈到该基金时说道。“但这笔钱将用于赔偿那些遭受了恶劣对待的人。”
他周三在接受记者采访时再次重申,自己“未参与和解”。
针对哥伦比亚广播公司的置评请求,一名白宫官员表示:“不存在矛盾之处。正如总统所说,他没有参与该基金的设立,但他本可以选择和解自己的案件,从而阻止该基金的成立。国税局泄露了总统的税单,实施该犯罪行为的人目前正在狱中服刑。该基金旨在为所有遭受武器化伤害的人追究责任——无论其政治派别如何。”
美国司法部表示,这笔17亿美元的“反武器化基金”旨在“建立一套系统化程序,审理并纠正那些遭受武器化滥用和诉讼骚扰的人的诉求”。由总检察长任命的委员会将决定支付款项。
美国司法部面临着要求提供该基金更多细节的压力,包括其运作方式以及哪些人可以获得资助。周四在一场闭门会议上,参议院共和党人向代理司法部长托德·布兰奇施压,要求其提供有关该项目的更多信息。多名共和党参议员担忧,那些在2021年1月6日国会山骚乱中袭击执法人员并随后被特朗普赦免的人,将会获得这笔资金。
目前已有多人表示打算申请这17亿美元基金的拨款,包括特朗普的前律师、如今已是总统激烈批评者的迈克尔·科恩,以及前特朗普顾问迈克尔·卡普托。
极右翼组织“骄傲男孩”前领袖恩里克·塔里奥也暗示他可能会寻求该基金的赔偿。塔里奥因在1月6日国会山骚乱中的角色被判定犯有煽动阴谋罪,被判处22年监禁。他是1500多名因1月6日骚乱相关罪名被定罪、并在特朗普第二任期首日获得赦免的人员之一。
根据针对国税局诉讼的和解协议条款,特朗普及其参与诉讼的两个儿子将从美国政府获得“正式道歉”,但不会获得任何金钱赔偿或损害赔偿。该协议还永久禁止国税局就此前提交的纳税申报单对特朗普或其公司提出任何索赔。总统还被豁免了与“诉讼骚扰和/或武器化”相关的索赔,不过相关条款并未作出明确定义。
Trump, who claimed he “wasn’t involved” in creation of “anti-weaponization” fund, now says he allowed it
May 22, 2026 / 12:11 PM EDT / CBS News
Washington — President Trump on Friday defended the Justice Department’s new $1.7 billion “anti-weaponization” fund and said he had “allowed” it to go forward, just days after the president asserted he was not involved in its creation.
In a post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump said that he could have received a significant amount of money as part of a settlement of the civil lawsuit he filed against the Internal Revenue Service over a leak of his tax returns, but instead decided to assist others who he claimed were unfairly targeted by the Biden administration.
“I gave up a lot of money in allowing the just announced Anti-Weaponization Fund to go forward,” the president wrote. “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!”
Earlier this week, Mr. Trump twice claimed he was not involved in the settlement of his lawsuit and the creation of the fund announced by the Justice Department on Monday.
“It’s been very well received, I have to tell you. I know very little about it. I wasn’t involved in the whole creation of it and the negotiation,” he said of the fund during an event Monday. “But this is reimbursing people who were horribly treated.”
He reiterated Wednesday to reporters that he “wasn’t involved in the settlement.”
In response to a request for comment to CBS News, a White House official said: “There is no discrepancy. As the President said, he was not involved in the creation of the fund, but he could have chosen to settle his case, therefore preventing the fund. The IRS leaked the President’s tax returns, and the individual who committed the crime is currently sitting in prison. The fund is about accountability for anyone who was a victim of weaponization — regardless of political affiliation.”
The Justice Department says the $1.7 billion fund, called the Anti-Weaponization Fund, aims to “provide a systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare.”A board appointed by the attorney general would determine payments.
The Justice Department has come under pressure to provide additional details about the fund, including how it will operate and who could receive payments. During a closed-door meeting Thursday, Senate Republicans pressed Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche for more information about the program. Several GOP senators have raised concerns that people who were convicted of assaulting law enforcement — and later pardoned by Mr. Trump — during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol would receive money.
Already, some have said they intend to apply for payouts from the $1.7 billion pot, including Michael Cohen, a former lawyer to Mr. Trump who is now a fervent critic of the president, and former Trump adviser Michael Caputo.
Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the far-right group the Proud Boys, also suggested he may seek compensation from the fund. Tarrio was convicted of seditious conspiracy and sentenced to 22 years in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 assault. He was among the more than 1,500 defendants who were convicted of crimes stemming from the Jan. 6 attack and received clemency from Mr. Trump on the first day of his second term.
Under the terms of the settlement deal over his IRS lawsuit, Mr. Trump and two of his sons, who were part of the suit, will receive a “formal apology” from the U.S. government, but will not receive any monetary payment or damages. The agreement also permanently bars the IRS from pursuing any claims against Mr. Trump or his company arising out of previously-filed tax returns. The president is also shielded from claims stemming from “lawfare and/or weaponization,” though the terms are not defined.
