This bill would abolish the "Anti-Weaponization Fund." The fund was established by the Attorney General in connection with the disposition in Trump v. Internal Revenue Service, No. 1:26-cv-20609-KMW (S.D. Fla.). The bill also says an Attorney General order issued on May 19, 2026, that relates to the release of certain claims "shall have no force or effect." The bill text adds "and for other purposes," but gives no details about other actions.
If enacted, the specific fund named in the bill would be ended and the named Attorney General order would be voided. The bill text does not say how ending the fund or voiding the order would affect individuals, agencies, or court proceedings beyond those two actions.
