## Resource

Donald Trump has demonstrated his grip on his party in this week's Republican primaries, and dissent will be punished. The president has established a $1.8bn fund to compensate people who've been unfairly investigated. Critics say it's just a slush fund for his allies. We explain how it came into being, how it will work and why people are worrying about it. And Britain's deputy ambassador to Washington has been sacked. We have the details.
