What to Watch for<\/h2>\n

The Trump administration will appear in federal court in Virginia on Friday to argue for why the existing pause on the fund should be lifted. If the judge agrees, it remains to be seen what will happen at that point, as plaintiffs have expressed fears the government could go against Blanche\u2019s word and start taking action to move the fund forward. The government also faces a deadline Friday to respond in Trump\u2019s initial lawsuit against the IRS, which was settled out of court and resulted in the creation of the \u201canti-weaponization\u201d fund. A coalition of former federal judges have asked the court to reopen that case in light of the controversial settlement, which could result in sanctions against Trump and his administration. The judge overseeing it has asked the parties to explain by Friday their position on whether the case should be reopened.<\/p>\n

How Could Trump Allies Still Get Paid?<\/h2>\n

It remains to be seen what any potential payouts to Trump allies\u2014including Jan. 6 rioters\u2014could ultimately look like, if the government moves forward with payments as The Atlantic\u2019s reporting suggests. It\u2019s possible the Trump administration could simply reverse their promises and restore the fund, with one unnamed former lawmaker telling The Atlantic he\u2019d been told by the administration that \u201cnothing had changed\u201d despite the public statements. If the fund isn\u2019t restored, Trump allies could also get payouts by filing lawsuits against the government asking for damages, with the Trump administration developing a way to pay out settlements in an expedited way that won\u2019t draw attention.<\/p>\n

What Has Trump Said?<\/h2>\n

Critics of the Trump administration have also pointed to the president\u2019s own comments to bolster their suspicions the anti-weaponization fund isn\u2019t totally dead, as Trump has continued to defend the settlement in his lawsuit against the IRS. \u201cWell, look. If it was up to me, I\u2019d pay them the kind of money that they deserve,\u201d Trump recently told NBC News when asked if the fund could be revived. \u201cI think the weaponization fund is a great idea, and so do many other Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Will The Anti-Weaponization Fund Impact Todd Blanche\u2019s Confirmation?<\/h2>\n

The Trump administration is trying to avoid the debate over the anti-weaponization fund from reemerging while the Senate considers whether to confirm Blanche as attorney general, The Atlantic reports. A number of Republican lawmakers have expressed concern about the fund\u2014namely that it could benefit Jan. 6 rioters who assaulted police officers\u2014and a debate over the controversial settlement could throw a wrench into Blanche\u2019s confirmation. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., told CNN<\/u> last week the anti-weaponization fund still being in effect could harm Blanche\u2019s chances of being confirmed, and taking the issue \u201coff the table\u201d would mean his chances of making it through the Senate would \u201cgo up immeasurably.\u201d If the fund is still an issue, \u201ccan you imagine what the Democrats are gonna do to that man during a confirmation hearing?\u201d Tillis said. \u201cCan you imagine how that could potentially influence a couple of our members?\u201d No Republicans have yet committed to voting against Blanche, who was previously Trump\u2019s personal attorney, though Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told<\/u> reporters before The Atlantic\u2019s reporting came out he was prepared to have an \u201cinteresting conversation\u201d with the nominee about the anti-weaponization fund.<\/p>\n
