## Resource

Former VP Mike Pence is blasting a $1.8 billion Trump-era settlement fund designed to resolve a tax disclosure lawsuit, warning it could pay rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6. Having personally fled for safety during the attack — with threats to his life — Pence calls the idea deeply offensive and urges the administration to scrap the fund entirely. While Trump himself won’t benefit, legal concerns are mounting: a Virginia judge has paused the fund pending review, and Capitol police have sued, calling it a corrupt act. Pence joins other Republicans in condemning the fund as inappropriate, especially given its potential to reward those who assaulted law enforcement and the Capitol.
