Trump refuses to sign document affirming end of slush fund
A U.S. Justice Department attorney stated that Trump administration officials considered unnecessary a requirement to sign a document under penalty of perjury confirming the termination of a proposed anti-weaponization fund. Judge Leonie Brinkema had ordered three senior officials to affirm the fund's cancellation, but Andrew Block argued the court already had sufficient assurances, citing prior statements from acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and others.
