00:00Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has formally rescinded the Trump administration's proposed
00:05$1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund after Republican senators threatened to oppose his
00:11nomination. Critics argued the fund could benefit Trump allies while supporters said it was intended
00:17to compensate people they believed were unfairly targeted by the government. The Justice Department
00:23said the fund was never put into operation and its elimination removes a key obstacle
00:28ahead of Blanche's Senate confirmation vote. The decision reshapes the political debate
00:33as his nomination moves forward.
