'Have We Ever Seen Anything Like This?' CNN Panel Stunned By Trump Slush Fund to Pay Out Allies [View all]
A CNN panel was stunned by President Donald Trump’s creation of a nearly $1.8 billion taxpayer-backed slush-fund for his allies who feel they were wronged by the Biden administration.
The Department of Justice announced the fund on Monday after dropping his $10 billion suit against the IRS for failing to protect Trump from press leaks.
“Now, they say there’s no partisan requirement here, but it’s clear who the target audience is,” said CNN chief legal affairs correspondent Paula Reid.
“The president’s team, they continue to point to what they say is a similar fund that was established under the Obama administration,” Reid said. “This was the Keepseagle Fund. Now, that was a much smaller fund that was only $760 million, but that was to address various claims alleging racism connected to the Department of Agriculture. So we’re talking about a much larger group of potential victims and a much smaller fund. But that’s what they keep pointing to.”
