The US Department of Justice has announced the launch of an unprecedented $$1.776bn fund to compensate Donald Trump's allies who claim they were unfairly prosecuted by the previous administration. Trump himself will not receive any payments, but an official apology is being sent to him.<\/p>\n

Compensation fund for Trump's allies<\/h2>\n

According to the information CNN<\/a>, The newly created \u00abanti-arms\u00bb fund of $1.776bn is intended to compensate the president's supporters Donald Trump<\/strong> for losses they suffered due to what they claim were politically motivated prosecutions during the previous administration. The payments will be made at the expense of taxpayers, and the fund will be controlled by a government agency headed by Trump himself.<\/p>\n

Mechanism of work and criticism<\/h2>\n

The fund, whose symbolic amount refers to 1776, will be administered by a five-member commission. Their names have not yet been announced, but President Trump has the right to fire any of them. Applications will be accepted until 15 December 2028, a month before the end of Trump's second presidential term. Anyone can apply, regardless of party affiliation, the DOJ said.<\/p>\n

However, immediately after the announcement of the fund, democrats and civil society organisations announced their intention to challenge it in court. They believe that payments to supporters of the incumbent president from the state budget are corruption, and that the grounds for compensation are politically motivated and unfounded.<\/p>\n

Prerequisites: litigation and preliminary agreements<\/h2>\n

The creation of the fund coincided with Donald Trump's decision to withdraw a $$10bn lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), in which he accused the agency of inadequate protection of tax information. This case concerned the leak of data on Trump's and the Trump Organisation's taxes, for which a former IRS contractor has already been convicted Charles Littlejohn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Trump himself will not receive any financial payments, as confirmed by the department, but the DOJ will officially apologise to him. A spokesman for Trump's legal team said that the president was acting \u00abin the interests of the American people and will continue to seek accountability for those who harm America\u00bb.<\/p>\n

The fund is not the first example of such agreements. In March, the Department of Justice reached a settlement with Michael Flynn, who received more than $$1 million in compensation after a lawsuit alleging that the FBI had attempted to frame him. And in April, Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser, also reached a settlement with the government over illegal surveillance in connection with his contacts with Russians in 2016.<\/p>\n

Why it matters<\/h2>\n

The launch of the $1.776bn fund to compensate Trump's allies sets a unique legal and political precedent in the US. Critics say it could pave the way for the use of public funds to support political allies, which calls into question the independence of the judiciary and the principles of separation of powers. The initiative is expected to be the subject of heated judicial and political debate, and its implications for American democracy and trust in government institutions will be felt for a long time to come.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
