Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) criticized President Trump's proposed "anti-weaponization fund" during an interview Monday, calling it an unprecedented attempt to create what he characterized as a "private militia."

The fund would reportedly compensate Trump allies who claim they were wrongly targeted or investigated by the Biden administration. Raskin made his comments during an appearance on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow show.

According to Raskin, "nothing like this" has been done in U.S. history, though details about the fund's structure, funding source, or implementation timeline have not been publicly released.

The proposed fund appears to be part of broader discussions about alleged political weaponization of federal agencies, a frequent topic during Trump's campaign and transition period. Trump and his supporters have argued that federal investigations into the former president and his associates were politically motivated.

No immediate response was available from Trump's team regarding Raskin's characterization of the proposed fund.
