Michael R. Caputo has applied for $2.7 million from the Trump administration's proposed Anti-Weaponization Fund, positioning himself to become its first beneficiary if the plan is approved.
Caputo said Justice Department and FBI investigations "destroyed" his family, framing the claim as compensation for harm he says was caused by federal probes.
