DOJ refuses federal judge's request for sworn declarations confirming anti-weaponization fund is abandoned.
The Justice Department declined to provide sworn declarations from senior officials verifying that the proposed $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund would not proceed, arguing the request raised separation-of-powers concerns. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema had given the administration seven days to submit the declarations after indefinitely blocking the fund. The DOJ pointed to prior congressional testimony and court filings as sufficient assurance that the fund is not moving forward.
