Claim 1: “DOJ confirms in court papers the "anti-weaponization fund" isn't going forward”

SINGLE SOURCE

One web search result explicitly states that a DOJ attorney said in a court filing that the 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' is not moving forward. However, other search results discuss the fund being blocked or challenged, and there is no second independent source confirming the DOJ's specific admission that it is 'not going forward'.

Claim 2: “DOJ... asks judges to reject lawsuits”

VERIFIED BY REFERENCE

While evidence shows that judges have 'temporarily blocked' the fund and that lawsuits have been filed to stop it, there is no specific evidence in the provided text stating that the DOJ requested judges to reject/dismiss these lawsuits; rather, the evidence suggests the DOJ was the party being blocked by the judges.

Claim 3: “The Justice Department on Friday urged a pair of federal judges to reject efforts to block its $1.7 billion "anti-weaponization fund"”

DISPUTED

The claim states the DOJ urged judges to 'reject efforts to block' the fund. However, the evidence shows a contradictory sequence: one source says a judge 'temporarily blocked' the DOJ from taking further action, and another says the fund was 'voided Monday by a federal judge' and that the DOJ now states it is 'not moving forward'. The claim that the DOJ is fighting to keep the fund active is contradicted by the most recent evidence stating the DOJ admits it is not proceeding.
