The Trump administration has abandoned plans for a $1.8 billion fund intended to compensate individuals who believe they were unfairly targeted by the justice system. This decision follows significant backlash from both Democrats and Republicans, who raised concerns about oversight and the potential for payouts to those involved in the January 6th Capitol riot. The fund was established as part of a settlement related to Trump's lawsuit against the IRS over leaked tax returns, though the IRS's agreement to drop probes into Trump's taxes remains unaffected.
