Lawmakers from both sides pushed back as the administration tried to kill the plan, even tying its fate to Attorney General confirmation. But a judge refused to buy their story—pointing out the ex-president still publicly referenced the fund and noting the administration’s contradictory statements. The court ruled the case isn’t moot, blocking the fund while plaintiffs argue it may resurface. This showdown exposes deep tensions over executive power, taxpayer money, and whether public funds should be used to reward political loyalty.
