Donald Trump is reconsidering his push for a $1.8 billion fund intended to compensate his allies, according to a source familiar with his thoughts. This reconsideration comes as the U.S. Department of Justice has paused the program to comply with a court order. The fund, referred to as the 'anti-weaponization' fund, has encountered legal challenges since its announcement two weeks ago. Additionally, it has faced criticism from some Republicans who are concerned about the lack of oversight and the potential for payouts to individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
