'Trump is basically negotiating with himself': Rep. Garcia SLAMS DOJ settlement fund - The Weekend Primetime - MS NOW
The Justice Department announced it was establishing a $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” after Trump dismissed his $10 billion dollar lawsuit against the IRS over his leaked tax returns. The DOJ claims this fund will help victims of government "weaponization,” and some convicted January 6th rioters are already looking for a payout.
Ranking member of the Oversight Committee, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) joins “The Weekend: Primetime” to discuss how he wants Congress to stop the fund, and weighs the news that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick donated $5 million to House Republicans before his Epstein Testimony. - Aired on 05/24/2026.
