Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

Michael Cohen, a former lawyer for Donald Trump, has announced plans to apply for an “anti-weaponization fund” claim. The fund, which was discussed by Trump’s 2024 campaign, aims to provide financial support to individuals and organizations that have been targeted or victimized by alleged attempts to weaponize information against them.

According to reports, the fund is expected to be worth $1.8 billion and will be administered by the Department of Justice (DOJ). The DOJ has released a memo outlining how the fund will work, which includes guidelines for eligibility and application procedures.

Several Trump allies have already expressed interest in applying for funding from the anti-weaponization fund. An audit of immunity for Trump family members has also raised questions about the potential implications of the fund’s creation.

The details of the fund’s purpose and implementation are still being developed, but it is clear that it will provide financial support to those who have been affected by alleged attempts to use information against them.
