US judge orders Trump administration to confirm abandonment of justice fund

A US federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to confirm the abandonment of its proposed "anti-instrumentalisation" justice compensation fund. The directive, issued on Friday, June 12, follows widespread criticism from opponents who had labeled the initiative a "slush fund." The judge in Alexandria demanded confirmation regarding the status of the fund, which was intended to provide indemnification. Critics argued the fund was designed to serve partisan interests rather than uphold impartial justice. The administration is now required to clarify whether the controversial project has been definitively cancelled.
