Retired U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn and Metropolitan Police Department officer Daniel Hodges have filed a lawsuit in the District of Columbia to block the Justice Department's recently announced $1.7 billion 'anti-weaponization fund.' This fund was established as part of a settlement between the Trump administration and the federal government. Dunn and Hodges, who defended the Capitol during the January 6, 2021, riot, argue that the fund is illegal and could potentially reward individuals involved in the violence of that day, including those pardoned by former President Trump. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche described the fund as a means to systematically address claims of weaponization and lawfare. However, the officers contend that the fund's existence poses a direct threat to their safety and undermines their sacrifices. They assert that it sends a chilling message that those who engage in violence in Trump's name may not only evade punishment but also receive financial rewards. The suit seeks to prevent any transfers made by the Treasury Department to implement this fund, which they label as a 'corrupt and illegal monstrosity.'
