Blanche won’t rule out ‘weaponization’ payouts to January 6 rioters
Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche told lawmakers he could not commit to barring money from President Donald Trump’s newly announced “weaponization” fund from going to people who assaulted police officers, including during the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
He also told Democratic senators that he could not commit to barring any of the nearly $1.8 billion from the settlement going to Trump campaign donors.
