US judge freezes Trump ‘slush fund’ for allies
A US federal judge has temporarily halted the creation of a $1.8 billion compensation fund intended for Donald Trump's political allies. Critics argue the fund could be used to reward loyalists, including those convicted in relation to the January 6th events. The judge's order prevents any money from being transferred or disbursed while she considers a longer-term freeze, citing concerns about irreversible disbursement before the legal challenge is resolved.
