Michael Fanone Blasts Trump's $1.776 Billion Fund as Jan. 6 Rioters Seek Payouts

Michael Fanone, a former Washington, D.C., police officer critically injured on Jan. 6, denounced President Trump's proposed $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization" fund as an effort to rewrite the Capitol attack.
The fund is intended for people deemed victimized by the government, and Fanone said it would reward Trump allies while ignoring Americans whose lives and health were shattered during the 2021 assault.
Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader who was later pardoned, is among the Jan. 6 defendants who say they expect compensation from the program.
Fanone also faulted both Democrats and Republicans, saying partisan inaction and political self-interest have taken precedence over addressing the needs of people harmed by the attack.

How might a government fund that compensates pardoned rioters redefine the legal concepts of 'victim' and 'justice'?
