Trump’s massive J6 'slush fund' takes Jeanine Pirro by surprise: 'I don't know anything'

Jeanine Pirro was in the middle of a tough-on-crime press conference Monday when a reporter blindsided her with a question about a nearly $1.8 billion fund that could send taxpayer money to the same kind of rioters she'd spent the morning condemning.

The U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia had just finished threatening to prosecute the parents of DC teens involved in violent "takeovers" — including a chair-throwing brawl that tore through a Navy Yard Chipotle Saturday night — when a reporter pivoted to the Justice Department's newly announced "Anti-Weaponization Fund."

CNN legal expert flags 'legal bank shot' in J6 officers' lawsuit against Trump

CNN legal analyst Elie Honig was stunned by the Trump administration's decision to create a $1.8 billion fund that could be used to compensate right-wing rioters on Jan. 6, 2021, and what that could mean for two police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol that day and have now filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration.

The former federal prosecutor told CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Wednesday the lawsuit filed by Officer Harry Dunn of the U.S. Capitol Police and Officer Daniel Hodges of Washington’s Metropolitan Police was aiming to halt the Trump administration from creating a $1.8 billion slush fund, and whether their case will have legal standing.

'Don't ever do that again!' Todd Blanche hearing goes off the rails over J6 'slush fund'

Attorney General Todd Blanche got an earful from Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) on Tuesday after a Senate Appropriations hearing devolved into a heated confrontation over the Justice Department's controversial anti-weaponization fund — and whether a pardoned child molester could collect from it.

The fireworks started when Van Hollen pressed Blanche on a deeply troubling case: a Trump pardon recipient who allegedly molested two children after receiving clemency and then tried to buy their silence by promising them money he expected to receive from the DOJ fund.
