With Trump’s DOJ anti-weaponization fund, Jan. 6 defendants may go from prison to payday. Can the police officers who defended the Capitol stop them?<\/p>\n

The new \u201cAnti-Weaponization Fund\u201d from the Trump Department of Justice is a pot of money worth almost $1.8 billion from a settlement between President Trump, and the government he leads.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump officials say anyone who believes they were victims of \u201cweaponized\u201d law enforcement can apply for this taxpayer-funded compensation.<\/p>\n
