Judge Warns Justice Department on Status of Trump Administration's Anti-Weaponization Fund

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon denied a request to block the Trump administration's anti-weaponization fund but warned the Justice Department not to misrepresent its status.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed to Congress that the fund is not moving forward, yet the judge expressed concerns about the Justice Department's handling of the situation.
The fund is linked to a settlement over a lawsuit regarding the leak of Donald Trump's tax returns, and another judge has temporarily blocked any action on it.
