The DOJ said in a statement Monday that it would comply with a recent court order halting the funding, but Blanche’s comments appeared to go a step further.

The Justice Department said it 'strongly disagrees' with the court's ruling that paused a $1.776 fund for victims of government "weaponization," but would still abide by it.

The Justice Department said it will stop work on the $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund following a district judge's decision temporarily blocking the program.
