The Justice Department announced the creation of an "Anti-Weaponization Fund" last week as part of an agreement to settle Trump's lawsuit against the IRS. A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Justice Department from moving forward with work on the new "anti-weaponization" fund, including making any payouts. District Judge Leonie Brinkema in Alexandria, Virginia, on Friday also barred the government from moving forward with the fund's creation while litigation is pending to challenge it.
District Judge Leonie Brinkema said the Trump administration is barred from taking actions on the fund, including awarding any payouts, until arguments in a legal challenge by a coalition of people and entities are heard.
