Summary
A new $2 billion fund, backed by the Trump administration, aims to compensate those claiming victimhood from a “weaponized government,” drawing sharp attention as Capitol rioters—including David Johnston, offering to help others file claims for a 10% cut—see it as payback for political prosecution. While some admit breaking the law yet still seek payouts, others argue it’s unjust to profit from criminal actions. Complicating matters, a federal judge has frozen the fund, eligibility for convicted rioters is under debate, and commissioners haven’t even been appointed—turning this into a legal and political firestorm.
