Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a formal order late Sunday, August 2nd, 2026, terminating former President Donald Trump's $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization fund." The fund was reportedly created to compensate Trump’s political allies. This action comes just before Blanche's upcoming nomination hearing scheduled for August 3rd, 2026.

The termination of the fund marks a significant move by Blanche as he assumes the acting role of Attorney General. No further details on the disposition of the fund or the reasons behind the termination were provided in the formal order.
