Washington — The Justice Department said Monday that it will stop work on the $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund following a district judge's decision temporarily blocking the establishment of the program. The move comes after the plan earned intense pushback from Republicans in Congress that threatened to imperil the GOP agenda on Capitol Hill. The Justice Department said on X that it would abide by the judge's ruling that halted work on the fund, effectively shelving plans for it for now.
