トランプ大統領は、1月6日の議会襲撃事件の参加者を含む自身の支持者を補償するための18億ドルの公的資金を創設し、さらに自身と家族にIRS（内国歳入庁）の免責を与える条項を盛り込んだ。
政権が「武器化防止基金」と呼ぶこの資金に対し、1月6日に連邦議会議事堂を警備した元警察官2名が訴訟を起こした。メトロポリタン警察のダニエル・ホッジス氏と元議会警察官のハリー・ダン氏は、これを「今世紀で最も露骨な大統領汚職」と呼び提訴した。訴状では、この基金は違法であり法的根拠を欠いているほか、憲法および連邦法（反乱による債務の支払いを禁じた修正第14条を含む）に違反していると主張されている。
Xのユーザーからは、18億ドルの公的資金による裏金やトランプ氏らへのIRS免責付与という主張に対し、汚職であるとして怒りや懐疑の声が上がる一方、正当な訴訟上の補償や政府の権限乱用に対する賠償であると擁護する意見も出ている。

Like his SAVE Trump act...
His J6 slush fund that also grands him IRS immunity. His little war with Iran.
Can it be that he is losing the grip on the GOP thanks to his unpopularity?
Can that be?

It’s not a slush fund. It’s required payment by the government (passed by congress long before Trump) of $1000 for every instance of unauthorized release of tax returns. An IRS employee released Trump’s and hundreds more to thousands of outlets. He’s in prison. Govt must pay up.

President Trump has settled a lawsuit against his own administration, establishing a taxpayer-funded pool of nearly 1.8 billion dollars for people his appointees deem victims of government overreach. The agreement also shields his family and businesses from IRS audits and enforcement actions on past tax returns. Bipartisan lawmakers are moving to block the deal.
President Trump has dismissed his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS. The move paves the way for a $1.776 billion settlement fund aimed at compensating those who claim government overreach. Critics in Congress and ethics groups have raised concerns over the arrangement.

The Trump administration has settled a lawsuit with the president and established a $1.776 billion fund to compensate victims of what it calls lawfare and weaponization of government.
Congressional Republicans are departing Washington for a weeklong recess without passing a bill to fund immigration enforcement for three years. The plan stalled over disagreements with President Trump regarding a nearly $2 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund and other demands. Lawmakers will not return until after the June 1 deadline.

Federal authorities say anger over the U.S. conflict with Iran may have helped drive a suspect to attack President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last month. Cole Allen charged a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton on April 25 and fired a shotgun at agents protecting the president.
