A federal judge in Virginia has indefinitely blocked the Justice Department’s "anti-weaponization" fund. The decision was handed down by U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema during a hearing held on Friday.
The judge’s ruling prevents any payments from the $1.776 billion fund for the duration of the legal case. This indefinite block follows a previous temporary injunction that had also halted payments from the controversial fund.
According to The Hill, the hearing focused on whether to extend the block on payments.
