$1.8 billion in restitution is set to be disbursed by the Trump administration through an "Anti-Weaponization Fund" for people claiming they were harmed by a weaponized justice system.
High-profile presidential allies and lesser-known individuals have already come forward seeking compensation, indicating the fund is drawing claims from both political insiders and the broader public.
The program is framed around the administration's view that misuse of the justice system created victims entitled to financial redress.
How will a new $1.8B fund determine a 'victim' of the justice system without relying on the courts?
