No money has yet been handed out from the #SlushFund. Acting AG [aka #Trump henchman] #ToddBlanche has not yet named the 5 “commissioners” who would be assigned to evaluate claims for compensation. The #DOJ has said the $1.776 billion in #TaxpayersMoney it intends to use for the payments would be drawn from a separate legal compensation fund managed by the federal government before July 17 [um, no. Can we halt that please as well?]

"Trump’s self-dismissal of his family’s bogus lawsuit against his own administration is what blossomed into his $1.776 billion pillaging of the federal Judgment Fund to create a separately controlled #SlushFund that would be used to pay people affected by a “weaponized” Department of #Justice, which ostensibly includes the nearly 1,600 people convicted of crimes, including violent ones, in connection with #January6th."

Judge temporarily blocks payouts from Trump's $1.8B 'anti-weaponization' fund

A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's administration from paying any claims through a new $1.776 billion settlement fund for Trump allies who believe they were victims of a weaponized government. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema in Alexandria, Virginia, on Friday also barred the government from moving forward with the fund’s creation while litigation is pending to challenge it. The judge scheduled a June 12 hearing for arguments on whether to extend the order blocking payouts from an “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” which the government created to resolve Trump’s lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his tax returns.

It’s “temporary” but I’ll take it!

That "slush fund" isn't $1.8 billion.

It is $1.776 billion.

That number is significant. Stop hiding it.

This is an very interesting development in the $1.8B slush fund matter.

In short, 35 former judges are urging the judge in Trump's IRS lawsuit to reopen the case and probe whether there was an illegal 'collusive settlement'.
