US President Donald Trump's administration has announced the creation of a $1.776 billion ​fund for Americans deemed to be victims of political "weaponization," like January 6 Capitol riot defendants. But the announcement has brought in a lawsuit from a coalition of Trump critics adding to mounting backlash over the fund, seen as an additional act of corruption. FRANCE 24's Douglas Herbert looks at why.
