US President Donald Trump walks on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, DC, on 15 May. Trump is returning from Beijing where he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss trade deals in various sectors.
The Justice Department has announced the creation of a $1.776 billion fund to compensate President Donald Trump's allies who claim they were unfairly targeted by the previous administration.
It's an unprecedented move that would allow the president's administration to pay his supporters from a government agency he controls with taxpayer money.
There appears to be few constraints on who can submit a claim to the fund. The president has broadly stated that his allies were politically targeted by the justice system, from the years-old Russian collusion investigation to the nearly 1600 people charged in connection to the 6 January, 2021, US Capitol riot.
