We have Braithing Developments at this hour, the $1.7, $1.8 billion slush fund that Donald Trump wants to establish to pay off January 6 defendants, his allies, and more while it's being established.

0:12.2

And the Department of Justice just made the announcement within the past hour, but just posted it to their official website within the past 10 minutes.

0:21.2

And now that I have all the details, I want to tell you that this in a lot of ways

0:25.1

represents potentially the largest kind of corrupt effort to take taxpayer funds for personal use

0:32.6

that we've ever seen before.

0:34.6

And I want to tell you exactly how the Justice Department has done it. At the same time, House Democrats have already filed what is called an amicus brief, a friend of the court brief in an effort to block this. I don't know that it will survive legal scrutiny, but I don't know that it necessarily has to. And that is the big issue here. So I have all the latest, like, comment, share, subscribe. At the same time, I do have big news for you that I was telling you about on the AI deepfake front

0:58.8

that I'm going to have more in my substack below.

1:01.0

But we just, me and Rokana, just sent a letter to the White House demanding guidance

1:06.0

and specific answers as to how to protect people like me from AI deepfakes who literally take my image,

administration taking to prevent the AI-generated impersonation of real people for the purpose

1:25.9

of spreading false medical, financial, political, legal, or consumer advice. I told you we're working. I'm working with Congress and Rocahnah on this. This is the first step.

1:48.5

The Department of Justice announced a $1.7.1.8 billion dollars. 1.7-776 billion dollars.

1:56.3

It's a settlement fund that they're creating as part of a, quote, settlement agreement in the lawsuit of President Donald J. Trump versus the Internal Revenue Service.

2:06.8

It's called the Anti-Weaponization Fund to provide a systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare.

agreed. There will be a formal process by which commissioners, there are five commissioners on this

2:41.2

fund, but they're all appointed or four of them are appointed by the attorney general and Donald
