President Donald Trump's Department of Justice thrashed a federal judge in a new court filing for demanding that DOJ officials and two Trump cabinet secretaries officially declare that Trump's "anti-weaponization" slush fund is officially dead. Last month, the Trump administration announced plans to create a $1.776 billion fund to pay claims from people who allege they were wrongfully prosecuted by the federal government. Several of Trump's allies, including formerly convicted members of the Proud Boys, declared that they would seek restitution from the fund, which sparked significant bipartisan pushback. Political analysts and experts have described the fund as a "slush fund" because the Trump DOJ would have full control over who is eligible for payments, and the legal paperwork establishing the fund states that the federal government bears no responsibility if crimes are committed by people who receive payments. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told the House and Senate judiciary committees that the administration is no longer pursuing the fund, but has refused to put that in writing. On Friday, the Trump DOJ told a judge in the Eastern District of Virginia that it won't abide by a demand to declare the fund dead. The DOJ argued in the filing that multiple Trump administration officials have said the fund is not moving forward, and those past statements should satisfy the court's demand. It also attached a copy of Blanche's testimony to Congress as evidence of its claims. "Such declarations are unnecessary, and the compelled testimony of senior officials from the Executive Branch implicates serious separation of powers concerns," the DOJ wrote in its filing. "Nor is there any basis for the court to compel testimony from the Associate Attorney General and two Cabinet members. The point of Article III limitations on judicial review is to prevent such overreach," it added.

A Wisconsin grant program intended to benefit minority students was struck down by the state's supreme court as discriminatory on Thursday.The court relied heavily on a previous U.S. Supreme Court opinion against race-based admission programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina.'This is also a big win for taxpayers, who can now challenge many other race-based programs in state court.'The Minority Undergraduate Retention Grant Program targeted black, Hispanic, and Native American students, as well as immigrants from Cambodia, Laos, or Vietnam who migrated to the U.S. since 1975.Assistant Attorney General Charlotte Gibson argued that the state program was not restricted by the higher court order and met the standards set forth by the court.The court disagreed."The Constitution requires that every person 'must be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual — not on the basis of race,'" the ruling of the court reads.During the hearing, Chief Justice Jill Karofsky challenged the plaintiff attorney by citing a post from President Donald Trump about former President Barack Obama that many saw as racist."Just last week, the president of the United States posted a remarkably and insanely racist video of President and Michelle Obama depicted as apes," Karofsky said."In this state, people of color contribute to the vitality of our state, and they are thanked by facing disparities when it comes to housing, access to medical care, transportation, incarceration, financial stability, and education," she added. "Do you take issue with anything I just said up to that point?”Luke Berg, of the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, responded that the worst discrimination is "when the law treats individuals differently based on their race."RELATED: Supreme Court hands huge victory to Trump over DEI funding — John Roberts sides with liberal justices The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty's managing vice president, Dan Lennington, praised the ruling."This is a major win for students," he said. "Race cannot be used to dole out scholarships and other financial aid. This is also a big win for taxpayers, who can now challenge many other race-based programs in state court. WILL is proud to stand for equal rights and make that case everywhere we can."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

A federal appeals court has sided with the Trump administration in the decision to remove display panels about slave history at the President's House site in Philadelphia.Activists accused the administration of trying to white out the troubling slave history of the site where Presidents George Washington and John Adams once lived.'The decision to do this appears to be made because the President's House Site memorialized the nine enslaved individuals that were held there against their will by President Washington.' A lower court had ordered the National Park Service to restore the panels, but a 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals panel found unanimously on Thursday that the order should be overturned.The appeals court said the lower court had misinterpreted the contract between the NPS and the city of Philadelphia and also found the replacement installation was "full of historical context."The court added that the replacement installations "highlight the momentous events that took place in the President's House and the other sites at Independence National Historical Park."Workers removed the slavery panels from the site on the corner of 6th and Market Streets in Old City in Jan. 2026.Paul Steinke of the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia called the removal a "terrible day" for American history."The decision to do this appears to be made because the President's House Site memorialized the nine enslaved individuals that were held there against their will by President Washington and his wife, Martha," he said to CBS News, "and this is the only federal historic site that commemorates the history of slavery in America."The city of Philadelphia sued NPS and argued that it had violated their agreement to seek "communication and consultation" before implementing any changes to the site.District Judge Cynthia Rufe, who was nominated by former President George W. Bush, opened her ruling against the administration back in February with a quote from George Orwell's "1984."RELATED: Judge orders Trump administration to restore slavery exhibits to presidential home site An NPS spokesperson mocked the city of Philadelphia after the original ruling."We encourage the City of Philadelphia to focus on getting their jobless rates down and ending their reckless cashless bail policy," the statement reads, "instead of filing frivolous lawsuits in the hopes of demeaning our brave Founding Fathers who set the brilliant road map for the greatest country in the world — the United States of America."Like Blaze News?
