## Resource

On Monday, the Department of Justice (DOJ)  announced  that, as part of the settlement agreement in  President Donald J. Trump v. Internal Revenue Service , it would create a new fund that could “issue formal apologies and monetary relief” to individuals and entities who claim to have suffered from lawfare and DOJ weaponization. The anti-weaponization fund will receive $1.776 billion from the federal government’s judgment fund used to settle and pay other cases. Five people, appointed by the Attorney General, will oversee the new fund; one of the five must be chosen in consultation with congressional leadership.  We want to see you in person soon!
