A major development unfolded on Capitol Hill as Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed that the Department of Justice will not move forward with the proposed $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund, effectively ending one of the administration's most closely watched and controversial funding proposals.

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.

“We’re not moving forward with the fund, period,” Blanche told the House Appropriations subcommittee on Tuesday.
