On \u200cMonday, DOJ \u2060said it would abide by a court order that temporarily paused the fund until June 12 but did not say what that would mean for the fund&#8217;s permanent future.<\/div>\n<div>Trump broke his public silence on Tuesday afternoon, posting a link to a Substack titled, &#8220;The Truth the Media Won&#8217;t Tell You About the Anti-Weaponization Fund.&#8221; The post praised Trump for giving money to those who \u200bsay they&#8217;ve been abused by \u200bthe government and criticized \u2060the media and Democrats for calling it a slush fund.<\/div>\n<div>After a Republican Senate lunch on Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters he spoke with Blanche earlier in the day \u200band thought the acting attorney general would ease member concerns at the House hearing.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;I think \u200bhis statement is \u2060going to be very definitive,&#8221; Thune said.<\/div>\n<div>Thune has said he wants the bill to be narrowly focused on immigration enforcement and not on Trump&#8217;s other priorities, keeping a provision out of the bill that would have allowed spending $1 billion to secure a 90,000-square-foot ornate \u2060ballroom on \u200bthe White House grounds that Trump wants.<\/div>\n<div>Democrats have called for legislation to \u200bbar the fund.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cLet\u2019s be clear, Trump has not killed this slush fund,\u201d Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters on Tuesday. He said that legislation must \u200balso negate the no-tax audit agreement.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=817\">US sanctions Iran\u2019s largest crypto exchange over IRGC links<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=815\">Zelenskiy says new massive Russian attack possible this evening<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=813\">Cuba defends military-run GAESA\u00a0as US sanctions prompt hotel exodus<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Justice Department&#8217;s agreement with President Donald Trump to bar future audits into his or his \u200cfamily&#8217;s past tax records will remain in place even as his weaponization fund has been put on hold, two sources familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":818,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[14,17,88],"class_list":["post-819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-government","tag-public-policy","tag-tax"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
