May 19, 2026 • Google News World
President Trump has established a $1.8 billion fund, designated as an “anti-weaponization” initiative, following the withdrawal of his lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The fund is intended to provide financial assistance to individuals and entities affected by alleged “weaponization” of government power.
The settlement, which was reached after Trump dropped a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, will allocate funds to those who claim they have been subjected to improper or coercive actions by government agencies. The exact distribution of funds is yet to be determined.
As part of the agreement, Trump has apologized for any harm caused and acknowledged that the government had engaged in “weaponization” practices. The fund is expected to provide financial compensation to affected individuals and entities.
The establishment of this fund marks a significant development in the ongoing controversy surrounding allegations of government overreach and abuse of power. The details of the settlement remain unclear, but it is expected to have far-reaching implications for those involved.
The IRS has not commented on the terms of the agreement or the distribution of funds. The White House has also declined to provide further information on the matter.
