Michael Cohen, a Trump lawyer-turned-critic, is planning to apply for money from the Justice Department's new "anti-weaponization fund," he told CBS News.

Caputo, a spokesperson at the Department of Health and Human Services during Trump’s first term, filed the claim a day after the Justice Department set up the $1.8 billion fund.

Caputo worked on Trump’s campaigns and became entangled in a lengthy federal investigation into whether the president colluded with Russia.
