Trump’s Lawyer Quits Treasury Over Massive $1.8 Billion Grift
The Treasury’s General Counsel, Brian Morrissey, resigned just hours after the Trump administration announced a $1.776 billion fund intended to compensate individuals allegedly targeted by the Biden administration’s Justice Department, a sum that could include those charged in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. This abrupt departure occurred on the same day acting Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed the “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” which originated from Donald Trump’s dropped lawsuit against the IRS. The fund, overseen by a commission appointed by Blanche, has drawn widespread condemnation from Democrats who denounce it as a misuse of taxpayer funds, with recipients and payout amounts to remain undisclosed.
