On May 18, 2026, the US Justice Department announced the establishment of a $1.7 billion fund designed to assist allies of former President Donald Trump who claim they were politically targeted during Joe Biden's presidency.
This decision follows Trump's withdrawal of a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, a case that had garnered considerable attention.
The fund is intended to address allegations of political persecution, although reactions to this arrangement have been mixed, with some critics labeling it as a form of corruption.
