A JUDGE FROZE TRUMP'S SLUSH FUND [View all]

The regime tried to create a $1.776 billion fund using your tax dollars to pay back Trump’s political allies—potentially including Jan 6 rioters who attacked the Capitol. No vote. No law. No permission. They just did it.

US District Judge Leonie Brinkema blocked the fund on May 29 and refused to budge. Trump keeps saying publicly he loves the fund, and his own acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told Congress it was dead—but refused to put a single word of that in writing. So on Friday, Brinkema extended the order indefinitely.

She gave Blanche, Associate AG Stanley Woodward, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent one week to submit a sworn declaration—under penalty of perjury—that the fund will not proceed in any manner, or under any name.

No army. Just one judge and the law. And right now, the law is winning.
