Summary

A controversial $1.776 billion fund, established from a Trump-IRS settlement, aims to compensate individuals who feel unfairly targeted by the Biden administrations DOJ. The fund, managed by five appointed individuals, has sparked debate, with critics labeling it an outrageous, unprecedented slush fund. Despite concerns, the fund is open to anyone who believes theyve been victimized, including those convicted of January 6th assaults. The funds creation was supported by Republicans, who blocked an amendment to prevent its establishment. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
