A explosive new legal battle is drawing intense attention after former Capitol Police officers Harry Dunn and Michael Fanone appeared to reveal they are suing to dissolve what they call an unconstitutional taxpayer-funded reward system for violent insurrectionists — a fund that includes the McCloskeys,

On Tuesday, two Capitol Police officers sued President Donald Trump's administration over a "slush fund" for MAGA loyalists that rioted at the Capitol.

President Trump's administration has created a nearly $1.8 billion fund designed to pay out people who say the government unfairly investigated or prosecuted them, including people who stormed the U.S.

Jan. 6 officers sue over $1.8B pot they call ‘slush fund’ for ‘insurrectionists’

Last week I learned that the IRS will be able to compensate anyone who thinks the government has wronged them, via a so-called Anti-Weaponization Fund. This money could be used to pay the people who despoiled the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. They would be paid with our tax dollars.

Two law enforcement officers who fought off a mob of Donald Trump’s supporters at the Capitol on January 6 have filed the first federal lawsuit to dissolve the administration’s newly created fund that rioters may turn to for multi-million dollar taxpayer payouts.

The administration says the fund will help people who say the government unfairly investigated or prosecuted them. But in their lawsuit, the officers say it’s a “slush fund” to “finance the insurrectionists and paramilitary groups that commit violence” in the president’s name.

Of course, each case will be reviewed by a committee, but here is the rub — President Trump has veto power over them, so in effect Trump can funnel our money to anyone he chooses. The 1,600 convicted criminals who participated in the Jan.

The police officers accuse the White House of using the fund to illegally hand taxpayer cash to his supporters by framing the payouts as restitution for supposed politically motivated prosecution.
