Trump allies eye $1.8B 'weaponization' fund

WASHINGTON – Since Trump announced a $1.776 billion fund for victims of political 'weaponization,' January 6 riot defendants and allies are scrambling for a share.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio expects $2-5 million: 'I'm not greedy, but my life was messed up.'

Trump pardoned over 1,500 defendants. Many now seek compensation for lost businesses and jail time.

Attorney Peter Ticktin says the fund may be insufficient: 'People lost multi-million dollar businesses.'

Democrats and some Republicans question the fund's legality. Two Capitol police officers filed a lawsuit to block it.

Tarrio believes even those who assaulted police should get payouts: 'Everyone deserves money.'
