DOJ announces 1.776 billion dollar fund for people claiming victimization by the justice system
The Department of Justice announced a $1.776 billion fund on Monday for people who believe they were victims of justice system weaponization. Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who received a commuted sentence and was convicted in connection with January 6, told PBS News he plans to apply for tens of millions from the fund. The fund's eligibility criteria remain unclear, particularly regarding January 6 defendants, prompting legal challenges from Capitol police officers.
