Summary
A $1.8 billion fund born from a Trump-led IRS lawsuit has ignited political firestorms, sparking outrage over potential misuse of taxpayer money to compensate January 6th perpetrators, including pardoned figures and allies. North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis slammed it as “stupid on stilts,” warning Americans would reject funding for those who assaulted officers.
