"That's why we have just filed a new lawsuit to make sure this ENDS."The complaint for injunctive and declaratory relief was filed in federal court Monday, Case 1:26-cv-01907, on behalf of two former prosecutors who handled January 6 cases. It names Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank Bisignano as defendants, along with the Justice Department and the Treasury Department.According to language visible in the filing, the lawsuit argues that the fund's creation, along with its assertion that January 6 prosecutors acted for improper political reasons, has harmed the plaintiffs. The complaint notes that January 6 insurrectionists have already been "hailing the creation of the Fund," underscoring why the legal fight cannot be considered over based on press reports alone.The filing was made in partnership with Platkin LLP, Washington Litigation Group, and Heaphy Smith.The post was quickly reposted by Barbara Comstock, the former Republican congresswoman from Virginia who has become a vocal Trump critic.BREAKING: we are NOT accepting media reports as proof that the $1.8B slush fund & "settlements" associated with it are deadThat's why we @DDFund_ have just filed a new lawsuit to make sure this ENDS --on behalf of former J6 prosecutors with Platkin LLP, WLG & Heaphy Smith pic.twitter.com/lT49UzKs3H— Norm Eisen (@NormEisen) June 1, 2026
