AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

MAGA anchor Joe Kernen raised doubts on CNBC’s Squawk Box about President Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion “anti‑weaponization” slush fund, pushing GOP Majority Whip Rep. Tom Emmer for answers. Emmer deflected, lamenting Senate vote shortages and defending the SAVE America Act, while noting the fund’s addition to a broader funding bill and suggesting they await clarification from Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who had approved the fund after Trump dropped a $10 billion IRS lawsuit. Kernen, wary of the optics given Blanche’s former role as Trump’s personal lawyer, highlighted the fund’s lack of transparency, its potential to pay Trump allies—including pardoned Jan. 6 participants—through a secretive “Truth and Justice Commission.” Republican Representative Brian Fitzpatrick, facing a vulnerable 2026 re‑election, led a bipartisan effort to block the discretionary fund, warning it threatens institutional transparency and taxpayer accountability, a stance that prompted Trump to rebuke Fitzpatrick’s wife, Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich.
