The fund was intended to compensate those who the Trump Administration claimed were unfairly persecuted by the government, and it has been the subject of bipartisan criticism—partially because payouts could extend to Jan. 6 defendants.
Blanche fulfilled this request after what he described as a series of “good faith discussions” with the holdouts.
“Although the Acting Attorney General has repeatedly advised Congress through testimony, including under oath, as well as in written responses, that the Fund is not moving forward, and the Department has repeatedly represented to district courts that the Fund is not moving forward, today’s Order officially rescinds the May 18, 2026 Order,” the statement explained.
“No Members were appointed; no funds were transferred; no process for receiving claims was established; no claims were paid,” the retraction order said. “This Order establishes, beyond any doubt, that there is no Fund.”
The Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on whether Blanche should replace Pam Bondi as Attorney General on Tuesday. With Tillis and Cornyn back in his corner, Blanche is expected to move forward without further Republican opposition.
Could Trump revive the fund?
Despite its retraction nearly three months later, Blanche indicated amid his Judiciary hearing last month that there may be avenues for the settlement to proceed in the future, such as advancing through Congress.
Trump said on Truth Social on Saturday that he would “push hard” to keep the fund alive in some form.
“Todd Blanche was a voice of reason! It will immediately be back on the table, and I will get it done. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he wrote.
