California Governor Gavin Newsom has proposed a 100% tax on any payouts received by state residents from Donald Trump's $1.776 billion fund, which is intended to compensate alleged victims of lawfare and weaponization. This initiative aims to counter the fund's distribution, which is reportedly intended for Trump's allies, including individuals involved in the January 6 riots. The Department of Justice announced the fund in May, but it remains unclear who qualifies for compensation under this initiative.
