Washington — Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Tuesday that the Justice Department is not moving forward with its $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund that has become a major obstacle to the GOP agenda in Congress.
“We are not moving forward with the fund. Period,” he told lawmakers on the House Appropriations Committee.
“Not moving forward ever?” Democratic Rep. Grace Meng of New York asked.
“Correct,” Blanche responded.
Meng asked whether Blanche would put that commitment in writing. He responded that it would be in writing through a transcript of the hearing. She followed up on the point later in the hearing and Blanche again declined to commit to put anything in writing.
