DOJ Says It Will Abide by Court Ruling that Temporarily Paused the 'Anti-Weaponization Fund'

The Justice Department issued a statement Monday saying it will abide by a district judge's ruling last week that ordered the temporary freezing of the Trump administration's $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund."

The statement came amid reports that the administration was backing away from the controversial fund.

"The Department of Justice disagrees strongly with the decision on the Anti-Weaponization Fund put forth by the United States District Court Judge in the Eastern District of Virginia," the statement said. "This fund was open to anybody who was so weaponized, targeted or persecuted, whether they were Democrat, Republican, conservative, independent or otherwise. The department will abide by the court's ruling."
