Top DOJ official removes post on alternate plan for alleged 'weaponization' victims
The Justice Department’s number three-ranked official suggested overnight in a since deleted post that the Trump administration would be moving forward with an alternative plan to compensate victims of claimed Biden-era "weaponization."
The post came just hours after the acting attorney general committed to Congress that DOJ was scrapping plans for a so-called "Anti-Weaponization Fund."
The fund was created in exchange for President Donald Trump agreeing to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS as well as two civil claims related to the Russia collusion investigation he faced during his first term in office and the 2022 search of his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Stanley Woodward, the associate attorney general who signed off on the president’s controversial settlement, responded approvingly to a suggestion pushed by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on X Tuesday that victims of so-called Biden-era "weaponization" could still be compensated through claims under the requests under the Federal Torts Claims Act.
