The Department of Justice has established a fund of more than 1.7 billion dollars to compensate individuals who suffered political and judicial persecution during the administration of Democrat Joe Biden.
Trump stated to reporters at the White House on Monday that the fund will serve to "reimburse people who were treated horribly, horribly by Biden". Among those benefiting will be Trump supporters who participated in the January 6, 2021 protest at the Capitol against electoral fraud, who were persecuted and faced horrific abuses by Biden's Department of Justice.
"They have been subject to persecution; in some cases, they have been unjustly imprisoned. They paid legal fees that they could not cover. They have gone bankrupt, their lives have been destroyed, and it turns out they were right", Trump expressed.
"These were people who suffered the weaponization of justice and were treated with true brutality by a system that was very corrupt, run by corrupt people, and they will be reimbursed for their legal expenses and for the other things they had to endure", he continued.
