Law enforcement officers who protected the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, sued the Trump administration on Wednesday to block implementation of a newly created [$1.8 billion fund for allies of President Donald Trump](https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/18/politics/what-to-know-trump-weaponization-fund-for-allies) who say they were unfairly investigated by previous administration.
The [lawsuit brought in federal court](https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/28136396-police-officer-lawsuit-against-trump-fund/) by Harry Dunn, a former member of the US Capitol Police, and Daniel Hodges, a current member of the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department, claims that the new fund runs afoul of the US Constitution and federal law.
The men say the fund will potentially be used to pay individuals who participated in the attack and finance various paramilitary organizations in the country.
“If allowed to begin making payments, the fund will directly finance the violent operations of rioters, paramilitaries, and their supporters who threatened plaintiffs’ lives that day, and continue to do so,” lawyers for Dunn and Hodges wrote in the 29-page suit.
Not often I am 100% on the side of police officers.
They should apply for the money. We all should. A good enough lawyer could show how the DOJ has been currently weaponized against us.
400,000 tax returns were leaked, Trumps return was just one of them. The other 399,000 returns, those people should all sue the IRS for 10 billion each. They’ll get flooded with so many lawsuits, they’ll cave in, they dont have the money or the people to fight them in court. I know this will work, because this is how Scientology got tax exempt status.
