Judge Extends Block on Trump's $1.8 Billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' Amid Mootness Dispute

12 June 2026 08:45

A federal judge in Virginia extended a block on the Trump administration's $1.8 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund,' rejecting the government's claim that the case is moot. The fund, created to compensate victims of a weaponized government, faced bipartisan backlash and legal challenges.

President Trump has not endorsed its cancellation, and the judge ordered negotiations for a sworn declaration that the fund won't be revived. A separate D.C.

judge accepted the mootness argument in a related case.
