Judge Freezes Trump's $1.8 Billion Fund Before a Single Dollar Is Spent - Adam Kinzinger
A federal judge has frozen Donald Trump's controversial Anti-Weaponization Fund before a single dollar could be paid out, halting what critics describe as a taxpayer-funded payout program for the president's allies.
The court order stops the administration from moving money into the fund, processing claims, or issuing payments while the legal fight plays out as Congress remains quiet.
