\n Former US Capitol riot prosecutors, fired federal officials and journalists who say they were past targets of President Donald Trump\u2019s retribution tell CNN they may seek compensation from the Justice Department\u2019s $1.8 billion \u201canti-weaponization\u201d fund.\n <\/p>

\n Some Trump critics have already sent letters to the DOJ outlining their claims, hoping to draw attention to how the president has harnessed government powers in an effort to punish his political opponents. Others are still debating whether filing a request could legitimize a fund they see as brazenly corrupt.\n <\/p>\n

\n The six Democratic lawmakers who faced legal scrutiny after publicly urging servicemembers to disobey illegal orders have also discussed whether to apply, according to a source familiar with the matter. If they do end up filing a claim, it would create a major test case of whether the fund is truly party-blind as DOJ has suggested.\n <\/p>\n

\n Trump loyalist-turned-nemesis Michael Cohen suggested he deserves compensation after his years of legal battles.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIf the weaponization fund truly exists to support individuals whose lives have been destroyed by politically motivated law enforcement tactics, by selective prosecution, by government leaks, abuses of power, and intentional destruction of reputation, then there is perhaps no clearer example than what happened to me,\u201d he said on CBS News. \u201cI guess I would be a test case.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n CNN has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.\n <\/p>\n

\n The controversial fund was announced as part of a settlement to resolve a $10 billion civil lawsuit Trump filed against the IRS, over a leak of his tax returns. (The perpetrator was caught, pleaded guilty, and went to prison.)\n <\/p>\n

Republicans revolt over Trump\u2019s nearly $1.8B “Anti-Weaponization” Fund<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n The fund will \u201cright the wrongs that were previously done,\u201d acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in announcing the fund last week, invoking Trump\u2019s longstanding grievances over the Trump-Russia probe and the 2022 FBI search of Mar-a-Lago. Convicted US Capitol rioters, members of the far-right Proud Boys, 2020 fake electors and other election deniers are also rushing to file claims.\n <\/p>\n

\n But many of Trump\u2019s loudest critics say the president and his political allies aren\u2019t the victims of weaponization \u2013 they\u2019re the perpetrators.\n <\/p>\n

\n Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, whom Trump fought with during his first term over the Russia probe, is \u201cstrongly considering\u201d filing a claim, according to his lawyer Michael Bromwich.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe idea of this slush fund is crazy, ridiculous and illegal,\u201d Bromwich said. \u201cBut if, in fact, money is going to be given to people who were weaponized by the Justice Department, Andy McCabe should be at the front of the line.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n During his first term, Trump regularly attacked McCabe and his wife with false claims. The Trump-era DOJ nearly indicted McCabe after an inspector general report found that he lied about leaking information about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign. (McCabe has denied any wrongdoing.) Prosecutors never secured an indictment and they dropped the probe in 2020.\n <\/p>\n

\n In 2018, he was fired by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions just 26 hours before his retirement. McCabe, who is now a CNN contributor, got his pension back as part of a wrongful termination lawsuit he settled with the Biden-era DOJ in 2021.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThere was weaponization in the first Trump administration, and they\u2019ve taken it to a whole new level in the second administration,\u201d Bromwich said.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Justice Department said claims submitted to the fund will be diligently reviewed by a five-member commission that will be picked by Blanche and can be fired by Trump. Multiple lawsuits have already been filed to try to shut down the fund.\n <\/p>\n

\n Former DOJ prosecutors\n<\/h2>\n

\n Last year, the Trump administration fired and demoted dozens of DOJ officials involved in the January 6, 2021, probe, as well as special counsel Jack Smith\u2019s investigation, which led to two federal indictments against Trump that were both dismissed before he took office in 2024.\n <\/p>\n

\n Many of these career civil servants felt politically targeted by Trump. An ex-DOJ prosecutor who handled January 6 cases told CNN their group chats are buzzing with colleagues debating whether to file claims with the fund.\n <\/p>\n

\n The ex-prosecutor said the former officials \u201cview filing claims as a form of protest, like a way to challenge what they see as a partisan and corrupt system from within,\u201d while others think participating in the process \u201crisks legitimizing\u201d the fund and \u201ca fundamentally corrupt system doesn\u2019t deserve that validation.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Even former FBI Director James Comey says he might get in on the action. Trump has feuded with Comey ever since Comey oversaw the early Russia probe, leading to his 2017 firing.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s to compensate people who\u2019ve been targeted by the Justice Department for, they say, personal, political, or ideological reasons,\u201d Comey told CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper last week. \u201cSo, I\u2019m guessing I\u2019ll be in line. \u2026 It certainly sounds intended for someone like me.\u201d\n <\/p>

\n The Justice Department indicted Comey last year on charges of lying to Congress, but a judge quickly threw out the case. Prosecutors brought new charges this year, alleging that a photo he posted on social media was a threat against Trump, which Comey denies.\n <\/p>\n

\n Democratic lawmakers\n<\/h2>\n

\n Some Democratic lawmakers are debating if they should try to seek money from the fund, given that DOJ said in a memo, that \u201cthere is no partisan restriction: Democrats can submit claims, too.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n But some Democrats don\u2019t want to take taxpayer dollars from something they don\u2019t believe should exist in the first place.\n <\/p>\n

\n The six Democrats who posted a video urging service members and intelligence officials to disobey any illegal orders from the Trump administration have discussed whether to apply, according to a source familiar with the matter.\n <\/p>\n

\n The video, which outraged the Trump administration, warned that \u201cthreats to our Constitution\u201d are coming \u201cfrom right here at home,\u201d and repeatedly urged members of the military and intelligence community to \u201crefuse illegal orders.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The Justice Department tried to bring charges against the half-dozen members of Congress, who previously served in the military or intelligence community: Sens. Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, and Reps. Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan. But a federal grand jury declined to indict them.\n <\/p>\n

\n Crow generally described the fund to CNN\u2019s Anderson Cooper on Thursday as a \u201cslush fund to send a message to anyone who is willing to kowtow or kiss Donald Trump\u2019s ring.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n CNN has reached out to the offices of all six lawmakers for comment.\n <\/p>\n

\n Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver, who was charged with assaulting federal agents during a visit last spring to an immigration detention center in New Jersey, has racked up legal bills estimated to cost a million dollars as she fights to defend herself, according to members of her team.\n <\/p>\n

\n When asked for her views on the fund, McIver said in a statement to CNN, \u201cThey are so close to getting it: using the endless power of the DOJ to target innocent people is always wrong \u2014 but it is Donald Trump\u2019s administration who is doing the targeting.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cInstead of throwing cash at Trump\u2019s buddies who try to defraud Americans or to the folks who stormed the Capitol, this administration should consider calling off the targeting and intimidation that their own weaponized DOJ partakes in every day,\u201d McIver added.\n <\/p>\n

\n Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff, who has been under federal investigation over allegations of mortgage fraud probe, told reporters earlier this week that he has no interest in applying to the fund, even though he said, in theory, he could qualify. (He denies criminal wrongdoing.)\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIn theory, I suppose,\u201d Schiff said when asked if he would qualify for payments. \u201cBut I want nothing to do with that sham, except for shutting it down.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Journalists and Trump critics\n<\/h2>\n

\n Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta said he thinks he could qualify for the new DOJ fund.\n <\/p>\n

\n He raised a 2018 incident where the Trump White House revoked his press pass. CNN sued, and a Trump-appointed judge ruled it was likely that Acosta\u2019s \u201cdue process rights were violated\u201d by the administration. The judge ordered White House officials to restore Acosta\u2019s pass.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cShouldn\u2019t I be compensated?\u201d Acosta quipped in a Substack post.\n <\/p>\n

\n A popular podcaster who chronicled the Trump-Russia probe led by special counsel Robert Mueller said she sent a letter to the DOJ requesting $8.6 million. In the letter, Allison Gill, who worked at the Department of Veterans Affairs, claimed she faced an administrative investigation into her podcast \u201cfor political and ideological reasons.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\nScott Stedman, an independent journalist and Trump critic, sent a letter to Blanche asking for $2.7 million. He said he was smeared by a former Trump administration official who posted his private communications online.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe money will be used to fund investigative reporting into corruption and abuses of power,\u201d Stedman wrote in the letter, which was reviewed by CNN.\n <\/p>
