Top DOJ official removes post on alternate plan for alleged 'weaponization' victims

Summary

A senior Department of Justice official deleted a social media post suggesting an alternate plan to compensate alleged victims of DOJ 'weaponization,' hours after the acting attorney general testified to Congress that the department was abandoning its proposed 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' entirely. The deletion raises questions about whether the DOJ is pursuing a workaround to the fund's cancellation or simply cleaning up messaging after a public commitment. The incident underscores the tension between the Trump administration's stated intention to address what it characterizes as political persecution and congressional skepticism about how such efforts might proceed.
