Trump Administration Proposes $1.7B Fund to Compensate Political Allies Investigated Under Biden

According to New York Times on May 16, the Trump administration is considering establishing a $1.7 billion fund to compensate allies who faced Department of Justice investigations during President Biden's tenure. The proposal, disclosed by three informed sources, has not yet been finalized or approved. Democrats and former government officials criticized the plan as a taxpayer-funded political compensation scheme. Officials familiar with the proposal stated that creating a compensation fund for Trump's allies—but not the president himself—could provide a short-term solution for the administration amid ongoing litigation.
