What Happened
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has declined to issue a sworn declaration confirming the cancellation of a proposed anti-weaponization fund. The DOJ cited "serious separation of powers concerns" as the reason for its refusal, stating that the demands for such a declaration were "unnecessary."
This action follows a demand from a judge for official confirmation regarding the status of the fund. Reports indicate the fund was associated with the Trump administration and was valued at approximately $1.8 billion. The DOJ's stance suggests a reluctance to formally acknowledge the fund's demise through a legally binding declaration.
