Judge blocks Trump’s $1.8bn ‘slush fund’ for Jan 6 rioters

A US judge has blocked the Trump administration from operating a so-called $1.8bn (£1.3bn) “slush fund” for Jan 6 rioters. The “Anti-Weaponisation Fund” was announced last week as part of a legal settlement in a case Donald Trump and his family brought against the government earlier this year.
