\n\tDays after a federal judge temporarily halted the President Donald Trump\u2018s controversial $1.776 billion fund to send taxpayer money to \u201cvictims of lawfare and weaponization,\u201d the administration agreed to comply with the court ruling. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement, the Department of Justice said that while it \u201cdisagrees strongly with the decision on the Anti-Weaponization Fund put forth by the United States District Court Judge in the Eastern District of Virginia,\u201d the department \u201cwill abide by the Court\u2019s ruling.\u201d However, the White House has not stated whether it will attempt to make changes to the fund or scrap it altogether.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe slush fund, which is set up to compensate Trump allies that he feels have been wronged by past administrations \u2014 particularly former President Joe Biden, has been paused for at least two weeks. The plan received backlash from Senate Republicans who objected to potential payouts to Jan. 6 rioters at the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmid bipartisan pushback, Republicans delayed a vote on a GOP package to fund ICE and the Border Patrol until June and threatened to work with Democrats to block the fund. Last month, senators reportedly railed against acting Attorney General Todd Blanche over the fund during a closed-door meeting, which Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas described as one of \u201cthe roughest meetings I\u2019ve seen in my entire time in the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFiery does not begin to cut it,\u201d Cruz said. \u201cMy guess is there\u2019re probably 45 senators in the room, at least half of them were blasting the attorney general, and they were pissed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLast month, hours before the fund\u2019s announcement, Trump withdrew a $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over the 2019 leak of his tax filings. The week prior, ABC News\u00a0and\u00a0CNN had reported\u00a0on internal White House discussions regarding the president\u2019s desire to drop the lawsuit in exchange for the massive fund. According to CNN, the settlement would also kill any existing\u00a0IRS\u00a0audits on Trump, members of his family, or associated businesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe court\u2019s ruling on the fund came in\u00a0after \u00a0filed a lawsuit and claimed the fund was illegal and unconstitutional. \u201cInstead, the Fund rewards and incentivizes unlawful behavior and facilitates an astounding abuse of taxpayer funds,\u201d the suit states.<\/p>\n
