唐纳德·特朗普总统在周三发布的采访中暗示，政府并未叫停“反武器化基金”，并表示相关人员“理应获得赔偿”。
在被问及是否已叫停这项有争议的举措时，特朗普在《纽约邮报》播客“与米兰达·德文同行的空军一号播客”中表示：“没有，一家法院对该基金做出了不利裁决。”该采访于周二录制完成。
就在同一天，代理司法部长托德·布兰奇告诉议员们，司法部不会推进该基金。
但特朗普在播客采访中辩称，那些他声称被“腐败政府”当作目标的人理应获得补偿。“这些都是非常优秀的人。我赦免了他们，我为赦免他们感到非常自豪。我认为他们应该从这个腐败政府那里获得赔偿，”他说道。
目前尚不清楚特朗普的表态与布兰奇的说法是否一致，也不清楚政府的相关表态能否缓解共和党议员对该基金的担忧。
布兰奇的表态标志着政府官员首次明确表示该基金将被放弃。司法部的这一转变发生在国会山共和党人的强烈反对之下。
多名共和党参议员本周早些时候表示，在确认“反武器化基金”彻底终止之前，他们不会推进移民执法资金法案。
但周二晚间，在布兰奇发表相关言论后，参议院共和党领导人正推动最早于周三进行投票，以推进这项700亿美元的法案，为总统的移民优先事项提供资金。
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩周三上午对记者表示，他认为布兰奇关于该基金的表态“对化解议员们的愤怒极有帮助”，并最终推动这项重大的共和党移民资金法案于周三晚些时候获得推进。但目前仍无法完全确定。
“我认为我们大多数议员对他的言论都相当满意，”但他仍不确定是否有四名共和党议员仍会因司法部基金的担忧而阻挠共和党移民法案。“他们的反对声音是否足够多，我们拭目以待。”
图恩表示，他“希望”今天晚些时候能推进下一步——启动所谓的“投票马拉松”，无需民主党支持即可通过移民资金法案。
一名共和党助手周三淡化了特朗普在播客上的表态对国会的影响。
“我并不担心他的言论，”这名助手说。“虽然不喜欢，但他说法院做出了不利裁决，这几乎等同于‘我正在叫停该基金’。”
这名助手补充道，布兰奇在听证会上“说得非常清楚”。
“我们不会推进该基金，仅此而已，”布兰奇告诉众议院拨款小组委员会。
“永远不会推进了？”民主党众议员格蕾丝·孟问道。“没错，”布兰奇说。
南卡罗来纳州参议员林赛·格雷厄姆在X平台上发帖称，他赞赏布兰奇的声明，但提议设立“一个武器化基金，用于那些能够通过联邦侵权索赔法证明自己针对联邦政府主张的人”。
副司法部长小斯坦利·伍德沃德回复了格雷厄姆的帖子，称“我们正在处理”。该帖子未作任何解释，随后被删除。
上周，弗吉尼亚州一名联邦法官暂时阻止政府采取措施设立该基金，并禁止政府从该基金中拨付任何资金。
但该裁决属于高度技术性裁定；它并未涉及该项目的合法性，而是旨在争取法院时间，以便全面审理要求终止该项目的诉讼。
在播客采访中，特朗普还称赞了今年4月接替帕姆·邦迪的代理司法部长，称布兰奇在司法部“工作表现非常出色”。
当被问及是否会尝试让布兰奇永久担任司法部长一职时，特朗普给出了肯定答复。

Summary
- President Donald Trump denied dropping the “anti-weaponization fund” in a podcast interview.
- The same day, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told Congress that the Justice Department was not moving forward with the fund.
- Many Republican lawmakers expressed concerns about the fund and sought assurances the Justice Department would completely drop it.
AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.
President Donald Trump suggested that he has not dropped the administration’s “anti-weaponization” fund, saying in an interview released Wednesday that people “should be reimbursed.”
“No, a court ruled against (the fund),” Trump said when asked if he had dropped the controversial effort on the New York Post’s podcast “Pod Force One with Miranda Devine.” The interview was taped on Tuesday.
That same day, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told lawmakers that the Justice Department would not move forward with the fund.
But Trump argues in the podcast interview that people who he claims were targeted by a “crooked government” deserve compensation. “And these were many great people. And I gave them pardons. I’m very proud to have given them pardons. And I think they should be reimbursed for a crooked government,” he said.
It’s unclear how Trump’s comments comport with Blanche’s — and whether the administration’s messaging will allay GOP lawmakers’ concerns about the fund.
Blanche’s comments marked the first time an administration official definitively said the fund is being abandoned. The Justice Department’s about-face came amid fierce pushback from Republicans on Capitol Hill.
Many GOP senators said earlier this week that they could not move ahead with immigration enforcement funding until they knew the “anti-weaponization fund” was dead.
But on Tuesday night, after Blanche’s comments, Senate GOP leaders were pressing for a vote as soon as Wednesday to advance the $70 billion bill to fund the president’s immigration priorities.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters Wednesday morning that he believes Blanche’s comments about the fund were “extremely helpful” toward resolving his members’ anger — and ultimately advancing the big GOP immigration funding bill later Wednesday. But it’s still too early to tell for sure.
“I think that most of our members feel pretty satisfied with his comments” but is not yet certain if there are four Republicans still willing to block the GOP immigration bill over DOJ fund concerns. “Whether they are enough with some of our members, we’ll find out.”
Thune said he is “hopeful” to take the next step later today — teeing up a so-called vote-a-rama to pass the immigration money without Democratic votes.
A Republican aide on Wednesday downplayed the notion that Trump’s comments on the podcast would impact Congress.
“I don’t feel concerned about what he said,” the aide said. “Don’t love it, but him saying a court ruled against it is about as close to ‘yes I’m dropping it’ as we will get.”
The aide added that Blanche “was very clear” during the hearing.
“We are not moving forward with the fund, period,” Blanche told a House Appropriations subcommittee.
“Not moving forward, ever?” asked Democratic Rep. Grace Meng. “Correct,” Blanche said.
In a post on X, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said he appreciated Blanche’s statement but proposed creating “a weaponization fund that will be available to those who can prove their claim against the federal government through the Federal Tort Claims Act.”
Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward, Jr. responded to Graham’s post saying, “We’re on it.” The post included no explanation and was later deleted.
Last week, a federal judge in Virginia had temporarily blocked the administration from taking steps to set up the fund and barred it from releasing any money from it.
But that ruling was highly technical; it didn’t address the legality of the program but was instead intended to get the court time to review a lawsuit seeking to kill the program in full.
During the podcast interview, Trump also praised the acting attorney general, who replaced Pam Bondi in April, saying that Blanche is “doing a very good job” at DOJ.
When asked if he would try to install Blanche permanently in the attorney general role, Trump said he would.
