First Bonkers Application to Join $1.8B Grift Board Exposed [View all]

An eager Republican lawyer swiftly raised his hand to join the exclusive board dispensing taxpayer money as part of President Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund.

On Monday, Trump’s Justice Department announced the establishment of the “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” to compensate MAGA allies he claims were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration.

The Justice Department said the fund would provide a “systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare.”

On Wednesday evening, right-wing lawyer Mike Howell contacted acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to declare his candidacy for one of the five vacant and unpaid positions on the board to distribute taxpayer funds.
