Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told House lawmakers on Tuesday that the Justice Department will not move forward with its “anti-weaponization fund.”

“We’re not moving forward with the fund,” Blanche said during a House Appropriations Committee hearing.

Blanche’s confirmation that the DOJ is abandoning plans entirely comes one day after the agency put out a statement saying it would abide by a judge’s order halting the creation of the fund.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
