Tonight, President Trump's DOJ creates a billion dollar fund for his MAGA allies, using money from you, the taxpayer.

Congressman Dan Goldman calls it a slush fund that he's here to respond.

Plus, breaking tonight a deadly shooting at a San Diego mosque investigated as a hate crime.

Police now revealing with the mother of one of the teen suspects told them. And Trump brings in his own defense secretary to try to get

revenge on a thorn in his side. GOP congressman Thomas Massey. Tonight on Laracote's Live.

My opening statement tonight, look, even for this version of Washington, we have never seen anything like what the Trump administration did today. A sitting president settling a lawsuit

against the government he runs,

and then that government creates a fund for his allies. Yet the conflict of interest

isn't exactly hard to find. Just follow the chain. Trump's lawyers negotiated settlement with

Trump's government over the leak of his tax returns. The case gets dropped.

And then the DOJ announces a nearly $1.8 billion fund.

A DOJ now run by Trump's former personal attorney.

And that fund?

It's to compensate people the administration claims were targeted by a weaponized justice system.

And it's all backed by taxpayer dollars.

The DOJ says Trump and his family won't see any of the money.

They'll get a formal apology, maybe a political benefit.

But you don't have to guess who this fund is for because Trump is all but spelling it out.

Why should taxpayers pay for the January?

Well, it's been very well received, I have to tell you.

I know very little about it.

I wasn't involved in the whole creation of it and the negotiation.
