Lindsey Graham, typically a Trump ally, the report noted. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Trump\u2019s \u201canti-weaponization\u201d fund took Republicans in Congress by surprise when it was announced as part of a broader deal to end Trump\u2019s lawsuit against the IRS and \u201csettle\u201d his claims seeking compensation for past investigations into him. The Journal reports that Trump\u2019s top aides in the White House were also kept in the dark on the fund until a few days before it was announced earlier this month. <\/p>\n<p>Only a few officials from the Department of Justice were privy to the talks on setting up the fund, including Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, his top aide, Trent McCotter, and the department\u2019s Office of Legal Counsel. The fund was first proposed during talks over the president\u2019s IRS lawsuit with Trump\u2019s personal lawyer Boris Epshteyn, who reportedly proposed establishing a five-person body to award payouts to those seeking to access the fund. <\/p>\n<p>During those talks, according to the Journal, officials explored ways to handle Trump\u2019s lawsuit and concluded they couldn\u2019t pay him directly because of how voters might react. Ultimately, it was agreed that Trump himself would not receive any \u201cmonetary payment or damages\u201d from the fund, and it would instead provide payouts to \u201cvictims\u201d of overreach by the government under the Biden and Obama administrations. <\/p>\n<p>Concern spread quickly that if the fund were to go ahead, it would provide payouts to Jan. 6 insurrectionists, all of whom have now been pardoned by the president. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=353\">Trump Teases White House Golden Dome in Afternoon Melt Down<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Blanche was privately grilled over the planned slush fund by unhappy senators during a meeting that even Sen.

Trump has always refused to do so, and was furious when his returns were leaked. <\/p>\n<p>It is highly unusual for the person who is suing to also be the head of the body being sued, but in this case, Trump is both.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, a federal judge barred the administration from taking any further actions to create or operate the fund, including transferring money to it, or considering claims for payouts until a hearing on June 12. <\/p>\n<p>Trump has so far resisted calls to drop the fund entirely, but is reportedly aware of the political headache it has created. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=351\">Murdoch Paper Warns That Trump, 79, Has \u2018Lost the Plot\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump\u2019s $1.8 billion \u201ccompensation\u201d fund for allies has caused such an uproar that even the president\u2019s closest advisers are reportedly looking for ways to get rid of it.
