The Justice Department has created an "Anti-Weaponization Fund" containing nearly $1.8 billion as part of a settlement agreement with President Donald Trump over a lawsuit he filed regarding alleged leaks of his tax documents to the press.

The fund was established to resolve Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over the disclosure of tax return information. As part of the agreement, the IRS will also cease all audits of Trump and his family members.

The fund will be administered by four commissioners appointed by the attorney general and one appointed in consultation with congressional leadership. It has the authority to issue formal apologies for alleged mistreatment of conservative political actors by previous administrations and to provide compensation to individuals who claim they were wrongfully targeted.

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) sent a letter Wednesday to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche requesting additional details about the fund's operations and oversight mechanisms. Fitzpatrick has given Blanche a June 1 deadline to respond to his inquiries about the fund's structure and accountability measures.

According to the agreement, when Trump leaves office, any remaining funds will be returned to the federal government rather than being available for use by his successor. The fund's activities and required reports to the attorney general are designated as confidential, limiting public transparency into its operations.
