The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is reportedly finalizing a deal to create a $1.7 billion compensation fund aimed at alleged victims of government 'weaponization,' contingent upon President Donald Trump dropping his lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This fund, amounting to $1,776,000,000, is intended to compensate individuals who claim they were unfairly targeted by the Biden administration. Notably, nearly 1,600 individuals charged in relation to the January 6 Capitol attack may be eligible for compensation. The proposed 'Truth and Justice Commission' overseeing the fund would consist of five commissioners, four of whom would be appointed by the attorney general, while Trump would have the authority to remove them without cause. The commission would not be required to publicly disclose its distribution of funds, raising concerns over transparency. Trump's lawsuit against the IRS, filed earlier this year, seeks $10 billion in damages for the unauthorized disclosure of his tax information, which he claims has caused reputational and financial harm. The proposed compensation fund is expected to face significant legal and political scrutiny regarding its use of taxpayer money and the commission's broad powers.
