Trump Will Drop Lawsuits If We Hand Him $1.7 Billion To Dole Out To Cronies and J6ers
The J6ers might succeed where contractors have failed: getting Donald Trump to pay for services rendered. Granted, the service was trying to overthrow the government.
TL;DR
- Donald Trump is willing to drop lawsuits against the federal government.
- In exchange, he wants control of a $1.7 billion compensation fund.
- The fund is intended to pay off January 6 rioters and others allegedly harmed by the government.
- Trump would have the authority to remove members of the fund's oversight commission without cause.
- The proposal has drawn criticism and comparisons to historical truth and reconciliation commissions.
- Ethical concerns have been raised by officials within the Trump administration regarding the arrangement.
- The potential payout comes from the Judgement Fund, typically used for court judgments and settlements against the government.
