A federal judge temporarily blocked the Justice Department‘s $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization fund” aimed at compensating allies of President Donald Trump and others who say they were politically targeted by the DOJ during the Biden administration.

U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, issued a temporary halt on any actions regarding the fund, which was announced earlier this month, pending a hearing in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
