Houston, TX, August 2, 2026 —

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has officially rescinded a $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund that had been earmarked for Donald Trump’s political allies. The decision to terminate the fund was reportedly made following a series of negotiations involving Republican Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis.

Sources indicate that Senators Cornyn and Tillis had been a point of contention regarding Blanche’s nomination for the position of Attorney General. The rescission of the substantial fund appears to be connected to these discussions.

A spokesperson for Senator Cornyn confirmed the termination of the anti-weaponization fund. Additionally, the spokesperson confirmed that the agreement includes modified immunity terms for Donald Trump and members of his family. Specific details regarding the extent or nature of these modified immunity terms were not immediately provided.

The anti-weaponization fund, valued at $1.8 billion, was initially intended for allies of former President Donald Trump. The exact recipients and the specific purposes for which the funds were allocated have not been detailed in the available information. The termination of this fund marks a significant development, stemming from high-level negotiations between key political figures.

Further information regarding the background of the negotiations between Acting Attorney General Blanche and Senators Cornyn and Tillis, as well as the precise implications of the modified immunity terms for Donald Trump and his family, is pending.
