A federal judge has agreed to review President Trump’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund — a move that comes as the proposal continues drawing fire from within the Republican Party itself.
The fund was announced earlier this month. Since then, it’s touched off a broader backlash that has exposed fractures among Republicans, the kind of intraparty friction that rarely breaks into public view this fast.
Not just Democrats. Republicans too.
Details on which judge agreed to the review, the court involved, or what specific legal questions will be examined were not immediately available from the source material. What is clear is that the judicial review adds a layer of formal scrutiny to a fund that was already struggling politically before any court weighed in.
The $1.8 billion figure attached to the fund had already drawn attention on its own. Whether that money has been appropriated, allocated, or remains a proposal wasn’t specified in available reporting as of Friday, May 30.
