司法部排名第三的官员在一篇后来被删除的帖子中暗示，特朗普政府将推进一项替代计划，以补偿拜登时代所谓的“武器化”的受害者。
就在几个小时前，代理司法部长向国会承诺，DOJ将取消所谓的“反武器化基金”计划
该基金的建立是为了换取唐纳德·特朗普总统同意放弃对美国国税局的100亿美元诉讼，以及与他在第一个任期内面临的俄罗斯勾结调查和2022年对他的Mar-a-Lago房地产的搜查有关的两项民事索赔。
副检察长斯坦利·伍德沃德(Stanley Woodward)签署了总统有争议的和解协议，他对南卡罗来纳州参议员林赛·格雷厄姆(Lindsey Graham)周二提出的一项建议做出了积极回应，即所谓的拜登时代“武器化”的受害者仍然可以根据《联邦侵权索赔法》(Federal Torts Claims Act)的要求通过索赔获得赔偿。
“我们正在处理。”伍德沃德在周二晚上10:45发布了回应格雷厄姆的帖子。Woodward的帖子在周三早上被删除，DOJ的一位发言人没有回应ABC的评论请求，即为什么它不再出现在他的X帐户上。
就在几个小时前，代理检察长托德·布兰奇告诉众议院议员，政府将永久取消其“反武器化基金”的计划。
然而，在民主党的压力下，布兰奇没有承诺将该部门的立场写下来。
民主党人可能会试图抓住伍德沃德的职位，作为政府正在寻找支付1月6日暴徒的替代方式的证据。
特朗普在周二录制的播客“Pod Force One”的采访中表示，他不会放弃这笔资金，但法院已经“否决了它”。
在计划于布兰奇听证会前开始的播客采访中，特朗普表示，他赦免的人——大概是指1月6日的暴徒——应该“为一个腐败的政府付出代价”。
Top DOJ official deletes post suggesting alternate plan for compensating alleged 'weaponization' victims
The Justice Department’s number three-ranked official suggested overnight in a since deleted post that the Trump administration would be moving forward with an alternative plan to compensate victims of claimed Biden-era "weaponization."
The post came just hours after the acting attorney general committed to Congress that DOJ was scrapping plans for a so-called"Anti-Weaponization Fund."
The fund was created in exchange for President Donald Trump agreeing to drop his$10 billion lawsuitagainst the IRS as well astwo civil claimsrelated to the Russia collusion investigation he faced during his first term in office and the 2022 search of his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Stanley Woodward, the associate attorney general who signed off on the president’s controversial settlement, responded approvingly to a suggestion pushed by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on X Tuesday that victims of so-called Biden-era "weaponization" could still be compensated through claims under the requests under the Federal Torts Claims Act.
"We're on it." Woodward posted at 10:45 p.m. Tuesday evening in response to Graham's post. Woodward's post was deleted Wednesday morning, and a DOJ spokesperson has not responded to ABC's request for comment as to why it's no longer on his X account.
The post comes just hours after acting AG Todd Blanche told House lawmakers that the administration was permanently scrapping plans for its "Anti-Weaponization Fund."
Blanche, however, under pressure from Democrats did not commit to putting the department’s position into writing.
Democrats could seek to seize on Woodward’s post as evidence the administration is seeking an alternate way to pay Jan. 6 rioters.
Trump said in an interview taped Tuesday on podcast "Pod Force One" that he wasn't dropping the fund, but that the court had "ruled against it."
In the podcast interview, which was scheduled to begin just ahead of Blanche's hearing, Trumpsaid that the people who he gave pardons to –- presumably referring to the Jan. 6 rioters -- should be "reimbursed for a crooked government."
