据两名知情人士透露,特朗普政府已向国会共和党领袖示意,计划取消这笔18亿美元的“反武器化”资金,但目前尚不清楚该计划的坚定程度和是否具有永久性。
唐纳德·特朗普总统尚未公开承诺终止这笔备受争议的拨款,第三位知情人士表示,政府只是暂停推进该基金的相关工作,而非彻底放弃相关计划。
这一说法与美国司法部周一发表的公开声明更为吻合,司法部当时表示将“遵守”联邦法院的裁决,该裁决至少将该基金的搁置期限延长至6月12日。第四位知情人士称,特朗普本人仍支持该基金,尽管他承认外界对这一构想的强烈反对。
特朗普在一次电话中告诉美国广播公司新闻台记者乔纳森·卡尔:“我们受制于法院。”
“目前情况就是这样,”特朗普补充道,“如果法院不允许,而现在法院已经叫停了该项目,你还能做什么?”
政府暂时搁置该基金的计划是在特朗普与众议院议长迈克·约翰逊举行长时间会谈后敲定的,“反武器化”基金是双方讨论的议题之一。但目前尚不清楚特朗普政府的表态能否安抚共和党议员,因为对该基金的愤怒情绪已经阻碍了共和党整体议程的推进。
共和党领袖一直难以通过移民执法追加拨款法案。周一,就连参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩也呼吁政府就该基金“自行将其关停”。若要最终通过这项拨款法案,共和党议员几乎肯定会再次尝试永久取消“反武器化”基金。
佛罗里达州共和党参议员里克·斯科特周一晚间向记者证实,一名白宫官员已告知他该基金将被“取消”。他未透露与他通话的官员身份,也未说明停止推进该基金的决定是暂时还是永久的。
“我已经和白宫方面沟通过了,他们的意思是他们会取消这个基金,”斯科特说。
但其他共和党参议员并不信服,部分人表示需要更明确、具体的担保,确保该基金将被永久取消。
“如果政府在武器化基金问题上改变了立场,就应该明确、明确地表明态度,”路易斯安那州参议员约翰·肯尼迪说,“但只说‘我们会遵守法院命令’,我没法替我的同事们表态,但就我个人而言,你这可不是在跟天真的小孩说话。说你会遵守法院命令什么都说明不了,你必须真正遵守法院的裁决。”
联邦法官已定于6月12日举行听证会,就她是否应发布更长时间的搁置令进行辩论。在此之前,法官禁止司法部拨款设立该基金、审议任何申请或向申请人拨付任何资金。
目前尚不清楚特朗普政府是否会在此次听证会上继续为该基金辩护。
这笔备受争议的基金旨在解决特朗普多年前针对美国国税局提起的一项前所未有的诉讼,该诉讼涉及未经授权披露其纳税申报单。但自该基金宣布以来,连续数周面临其所在政党内部公开和私下的强烈反对,部分议员称这本质上是用于向特朗普盟友支付款项的“秘密资金”。
消息人士告诉CNN,起初,司法部高级官员坚称,尽管共和党内部存在反对声音,他们不会更改该基金的细节。但国会共和党人仍怒不可遏,部分盟友敦促特朗普彻底取消该基金。
弗吉尼亚州法官的暂停令并非该基金遭遇的唯一司法挫折。佛罗里达州另一名负责特朗普最初起诉国税局一案的法官下令,要求特朗普等人回应相关指控,即他与代表国税局的司法部律师合谋达成庭外和解——换言之,他存在欺骗法庭的行为。

Trump administration signals to GOP congressional leaders it will back off $1.8 billion ‘anti-weaponization’ fund
2026-06-01T21:55:21.756Z / CNN
The Trump administration has signaled to Republican congressional leaders that it plans to drop the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund, though it was unclear how firm or permanent that plan is, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
President Donald Trump has not committed publicly to terminating the controversial pot of money, and a third source familiar with the discussions indicated the administration was merely pausing efforts to pursue the fund — not dropping those plans altogether.
That characterization more closely matches a public statement from the Department of Justice Monday, which said that it would “abide by” a federal court ruling that paused the fund until at least June 12. A fourth source familiar with the matter said Trump himself still believes in the fund, even as he acknowledges vehement pushback to the concept.
Trump himself told ABC News’ Jonathan Karl in a phone call, “We are subject to the courts.”
“At this moment, that’s what it is,” Trump said, adding, “If a court doesn’t allow it, and right now a court has it held up, what can you do?”
The plan to back off the fund for now came after Trump held a lengthy meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson, where the “anti-weaponization” fund was among the topics the two discussed. But it’s unclear if the Trump administration’s message will satisfy GOP lawmakers as fury over the fund has stalled the GOP’s broader agenda.
Republican leaders have been struggling to pass additional funding for immigration enforcement. And on Monday, even Senate Majority Leader John Thune called for the administration to “shut it down themselves,” in regards to the fund. Continued efforts to get that spending legislation over the finish line will almost certainly involve more attempts to kill the “anti-weaponization” fund permanently.
Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida confirmed to reporters Monday evening that a White House official told him the fund would be “dropped.” He did not say who he spoke to or if the decision to stop pursuing the fund was temporary or permanent.
“I have talked to the White House. What they told me is they’re dropping it,” Scott said.
But other GOP senators weren’t convinced, with some saying they needed more specific and concrete assurances the fund was gone for good.
“If the administration has changed its position on the weaponization fund, it should say so definitively, definitively,” said Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana. “But just saying, ‘We’re going to abide by the court order,’ I mean, I can’t speak for my colleagues, but speaking personally, you’re not talking to Bambi’s baby brother here. Saying you’re going to follow a court order doesn’t tell me anything. You have to follow the court order.”
The federal judge set a hearing for June 12 to hear arguments over whether she should issue a longer pause. Until then, she barred the Justice Department from allocating money to create the fund, considering any claims or distributing any money to applicants.
It’s unclear if the Trump administration will continue fighting for the fund in that hearing.
The controversial fund was created to settle an unprecedented lawsuit Trump brought against the IRS over the unauthorized disclosure of his tax returns years ago. But since its announcement, the fund has faced weeks of unrelenting push back from the president’s own party both in public and in private, with some saying it’s essentially a slush fund to pay out Trump’s allies.
At first, senior Justice Department officials insisted that they wouldn’t change the details of the fund despite pushback from within the GOP, sources told CNN. But congressional Republicans have remained furious, with some allies encouraging the president to scrap it entirely.
And the pause by the Virginia judge wasn’t the only court setback for the fund. A second judge in Florida who oversaw Trump’s initial suit against the IRS ordered the president and others to respond to allegations that he worked in a collusive manner with Justice Department lawyers representing the IRS to reach an out-of-court settlement — in other words, that he defrauded the court.
