Justice Department reporter at the Washington Examiner,
 the DOJ's new $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization fund.”
The news: the Justice Department is establishing a $1.776 billion fund as part of the settlement resolving President Trump's lawsuit over the leak of his confidential tax records. The structure is the story—the Trumps take no direct financial damages, and in exchange, the DOJ creates a formal, government-run claims process, including official apologies and monetary compensation, for people who say they were politically targeted during the Biden administration. It's financed through the federal Judgment Fund, a permanent congressional appropriation, and sunsets December 1, 2028.
It's not a one-day story — it's the start of a process that will generate news for years.
