代理司法部长托德·布兰奇于周日晚间发布命令,正式取消设立一项18亿美元基金以赔偿总统特朗普盟友的计划。
该命令发布前,共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯和约翰·科尼曾威胁阻止布兰奇获得领导司法部的永久职位提名。
命令中写道:“2026年5月18日司法部长设立‘反武器化基金’(下称‘基金’)的命令现予以撤销,不再具备任何法律效力。”
“为避免歧义,本命令无意与司法部此前关于该基金尚未运作的表述相冲突或相悖。基金尚未任命任何成员,未转移任何资金,未建立受理索赔的流程,也未支付任何索赔款项。尽管如此,已有几起毫无意义的诉讼对该基金提起质疑,至少有一家法院拒绝以诉讼已无实际意义为由驳回这些诉求。”命令继续写道,“本命令明确无疑地表明,该基金根本不存在。”
蒂利斯和科尼拒绝投票支持布兰奇担任全职司法部长,除非以书面形式确认特朗普总统将不再推进这项“反武器化基金”。该基金规模近18亿美元,用于向那些声称自己遭受政治迫害的人支付款项,今年5月特朗普起诉美国国税局和财政部的和解方案中宣布了这项基金。

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issues order rescinding “anti-weaponization fund”
August 2, 2026 / 11:44 PM EDT / CBS/AP
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued an order Sunday evening formally rescinding plans to create a $1.8 billion fund meant to compensate allies of President Trump.
The order came after Republican Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn threatened to block Blanche’s confirmation for the permanent position to lead the Justice Department.
“The Attorney General’s May 18, 2026 Order establishing the Anti-WeaponizationFund (“Fund”) is rescinded and shall have no force or effect,” the order states.
“For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Order is intended to contradict or otherwise be contrary to prior representations by the Department of Justice that the Fund is not operative. No Members were appointed; no funds were transferred; no process for receiving claims was established; no claims were paid. Nevertheless, several frivolous lawsuits have been filed challenging the Fund, and at least one court has declined to dismiss those claims as moot,” it continues. “This Order establishes, beyond any doubt, that there is no Fund.”
Tillis and Cornyn have refused to vote for Blanche as the full-time attorney general unless it is put in writing that Mr. Trump will no longer pursue the “anti-weaponization fund,” a nearly $1.8 billion fund to pay people who claim they were politically persecuted, which was announced in May as part of a settlement to resolve Mr. Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS and Treasury Department.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.
