Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said he was launching an effort to kill "slush fund" by forcing Republicans to vote on it.

The Trump administration plans to drop the Department of Justice’s $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” in the face of legal and political pushback to it, reports said Monday.

The fund was created as part of a settlement of Donald Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service. It is intended to compensate people who were purportedly victims of prosecutorial overreach by the DOJ under the Biden administration.

    “They very smart people at the department of justice has decided - not me, I have nothing to do with it - the smart people decided they want to give me ONE BILLION, simply… because they love me. They said it’s going to be a gift. You know everyone loves me, I told them no it’s too much but it would be rude. This big beautiful gift - it would be rude to say NO how can anyone say NO? You wouldn’t say no, I know you wouldn’t. SO I have to say yes! America had to say YES!”
