President Donald Trump is considering pulling back from the $1.8 billion “anti‑weaponization” fund, a program designed to shield federal agencies from political interference. The fund, established to ensure independence in investigations and regulatory enforcement, has been criticized by Trump allies as unnecessary and biased. Retreating from the initiative would mark a significant rollback of safeguards introduced after years of partisan disputes over the Justice Department and federal oversight. Analysts warn that such a move could reignite concerns about political influence in law enforcement and deepen divisions between the White House and Congress.
