华盛顿讯—— 前副总统迈克·彭斯周日表示，他希望特朗普政府取消其新设立的“反武器化基金”，该基金已在国会山引发反对意见，并导致共和党内部出现分歧。
“设立一项基金，用来赔偿那些当日袭击警察、破坏国会大厦的人，这完全不可接受，”彭斯在接受《与玛格丽特·布伦南面对全国》节目采访时说道。
这笔17.76亿美元的基金旨在向那些声称司法系统“武器化”针对他们的人提供纳税人资金赔偿，它是作为特朗普总统起诉国税局一案和解协议的一部分设立的。但该基金已造成共和党内部分裂，尤其是包括一些因参与2021年1月6日国会大厦袭击事件而被指控的特朗普盟友在内的部分人士表示，他们迫切希望提交索赔申请。
本月早些时候，参议院共和党人举行了一场激烈的闭门会议讨论该基金，迫使共和党领导层取消了为移民执法提供资金的计划。彭斯周日表示，他“对参议院中有如此多共和党人公开反对该基金感到鼓舞”。
“我希望本届政府能取消这项基金，彻底放弃这个想法，”他说。
2021年1月6日，国会清点选举人票期间，彭斯时任副总统，他正准备认证乔·拜登总统胜选结果，当时成为国会大厦暴乱者的袭击目标。他周日表示，“那些在1月6日袭击警察、破坏国会大厦的人，不应该从该基金或其他任何地方获得一分纳税人的钱。”
参议院共和党人一直在寻求澄清该基金的运作方式、哪些人可以获得拨款，以及设置必要的防范措施，防止袭击执法人员的人员获得赔偿。
彭斯强调，司法部“能够解决那些权利受到践踏的人的相关问题，并且本就应该这么做”。他补充道：“我非常欢迎这类和解。”
上周五，一名联邦法官暂时禁止司法部推进该基金的相关工作。尽管面临多项实施挑战，但司法部仍对该基金的合法性充满信心。
当被更广泛地问及1月6日袭击事件时，彭斯表示，他“确实看到了证据”表明本届政府在淡化当日事件的性质，并称“1月6日周年纪念日当天，白宫发布了一份时间线，竟然将当日的暴乱归咎于国会山警察，这让我感到愤慨”。
“听着，我坚信未来历史会给出公正的评判，评判我们当时的作为，评判所有在国会山警察确保国会大厦安全后返回现场的共和党人和民主党人，我们都履行了宪法赋予我们的职责，”彭斯说道。“显然，有人试图改写那段历史，但我认为这不会得逞。”
Mike Pence says he hopes Trump administration will drop weaponization fund

Washington — Former Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday that he hopes the Trump administration will drop its new “anti-weaponization fund” that has sparked pushback on Capitol Hill and divided Republicans.
“The idea of creating a fund that could compensate people who assaulted police officers and vandalized the Capitol that day is totally unacceptable,” Pence said on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan”.
The $1.776 billion fund, which aims to provide taxpayer-funded payouts to people who allege the legal system has been “weaponized” against them, was established as part of a settlement of a suit by President Trump against the IRS. But the fund has divided Republicans, especially as some Trump allies, including those charged for their involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, have said they are eager to submit claims.
The fund was the topic of a heated conference meeting among Senate Republicans earlier this month, and forced GOP leaders to scrap plans to fund immigration enforcement. On Sunday, Pence said he’s been “heartened by the number of Republicans in the Senate who have spoken out against it.”
“My hope is the administration will drop it, drop the idea entirely,” he said.
The former vice president was a target of the rioters at the Capitol as he was set to certify President Joe Biden’s victory after Congress counted the electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021. He said Sunday that “people that assaulted police officers on Jan. 6, and vandalized our Capitol should not get one dime of taxpayer money from that fund or anywhere else.”
Senate Republicans have sought answers on how the fund will operate and who might receive payments from it, along with possible guardrails to prevent people who assaulted law enforcement from being compensated.
Pence emphasized that the Justice Department “can settle these issues where people have had their rights trampled on, and ought to do that.” He added, “I welcome that settlement greatly.”
On Friday, a federal judge temporarily barred the Justice Department from moving forward with work on the fund. The DOJ has expressed confidence in the fund’s legality amid a handful of challenges to its implementation.
Asked about the Jan. 6 attack more broadly, Pence said he’s “certainly seen evidence” that the administration is white washing that day, saying he was “offended on the anniversary of Jan. 6 when the White House put out a timeline that literally blamed Capitol Hill police for the riot that took place that day.”
“Look, I’m very confident of the judgment of history in the years ahead, about our role, about all the Republicans and Democrats who returned that day after Capitol Police secured the Capitol, and we all did our duty under the Constitution,” Pence said. “There’s clearly been an effort by some to rewrite that history, but I don’t expect it’ll work.”
