Trump Isn’t Giving Up on His Slush Fund

NEW: Trump and DoJ officials are exploring ways to revive the $1.776B slush fund. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

NEW STORY: Trump’s ‘Anti-Weaponization’ Payouts May Not Be Dead After All www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

"Justice Department and other Trump-administration officials have quietly assured allies that plans for some form of payout remain on track....[DOJ] officials and people close to the White House have indicated that the payout idea has not actually been scrapped." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Todd Blanche is ploughing ahead with plans for his $1.8 bn slush fund... and is lying about it, just as he lies about everything. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Democrats forced votes to BAN Trump’s slush fund to pay insurrectionists. Republicans blocked it—giving Trump the green light to use YOUR taxpayer dollars to pay convicted cop beaters and insurrectionists. It's disgusting and corrupt.

🎁Loyalists still may be compensated according to backroom conversations. Trump isn’t giving up on his slush fund because he has something to gain from it. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Justice and White House officials have indicated that the IRS slush fund payout idea has not actually been scrapped, rather they are covertly exploring whether elements of the fund can be reactivated while also examining alternative arrangements to pay loyalists. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

We don't trust them to follow through unless we force them to. This is more evidence that we're right not to. ⬇️ www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Behind the scenes, Trump is assuring allies that his plans for the $1.8b slush fund are moving forward.

“I’m not committing to putting anything in writing...IDK what the purpose of putting something in writing.” -Todd Blanche, whose loyalty to his orange client is matched only by his shyster-atty devotion to the idea that if it’s not documented, it never happened www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Not the point, but what did they call the frustrating effort of solving problems that immediately reappear in another form once dealt with - before the game "wack-a-mole" was invented? www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This is by the same reporter, Sarah Fitzpatrick, who broke the story on Kash Patel's drinking. It turns out that it’s not that simple. Behind the scenes, Justice Department and other Trump-administration officials have quietly assured allies that plans for some form of payout remain on track.

Just days ago, the Trump-Vance administration said they would drop their Rioter Rewards fund, but it's back on track. House Democrats have a bill to stop this illegal slush fund and block this abuse of taxpayer dollars — will Republicans join us to stop it permanently?

Blanche told Congress the slush fund for Trump loyalists and Jan 6 defendants was dead. New reporting from @theatlantic.com tells us that a version of the payout plan for political allies is still very much alive.

The slush fund is intended to shore up Republican support ahead of the midterm elections. GOP regrets this was so public because it invited too much scrutiny. They hope to do things more quietly in the future. Don't let this get swept under the rug. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

President Trump is keeping alive his $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" through a shadow strategy of private legal settlements. DOJ publicly claims project is scrapped to secure Senate confirmations, internal planning continues to use government-backed litigation to pay loyalists.

All lies Blanche, who was not under oath, refused requests from a representative to put that in writing. He asked instead for Congress to take him at his word www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

In case you've been living under a rock, House & Senate passed the ICE funding bill, which includes Trump's $1.8B slush fund he intends to use to reward allies.

tRump NEVER stopped wanting his $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund to bribe January 6th insurrectionists. He hopes they will disrupt 2026 elections! When inflation keeps going up - and it is tRump's fault - that is the only way his GOP could win.

“Right now, you have to be an insider to know who to talk to,” one attorney who had advised multiple individuals seeking compensation told me.” So, there are attorneys, who knows how many, actively seeking compensation for clients and certainly lobbying to make sure the fund doesn’t go away.

Despite publicly claiming they had abandoned this proposal, Trump officials continue searching for ways to create a taxpayer-funded slush fund for Jan. 6 insurrectionists. This would further weaponize the DoJ and Treasury as tools for rewarding loyalists & encouraging his extremist movement.

“We’ve seen this administration say one thing and do the complete opposite far too many times, and we’re asking the court to have them show us the truth about their assurances that the slush fund has actually been abandoned,” Skye Perryman said. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

PREDICTION: Trump will use his $1.8B slush fund to hand out millions to Epstein pedos and Jan 6 Capitol insurrectionists. We're no longer a nation that tries to punishes all criminals. If you're white and pro-Trump, many laws no longer apply to you. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Judge Brinkema's preliminary injunction blocks the administration's $1.776 bill "Anti-Weaponization Fund" from proceeding DOJ must submit a formal declaration under penalty of perjury within a week to confirm the fund is officially rescinded.

He doesn't pay taxes and wants $1,776,000,000 in TAXPAYER MONEY FROM THE OUR U.S. TREASURY for his insurrectionists. For what, to make sure they'll re-enlist in his next coup? www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
