Former President Trump has declined to rule out using an "anti-weaponization" fund to provide support for individuals convicted of participating in the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. The fund in question appears to be designated for what Trump's camp characterizes as cases of political persecution. Trump's refusal to exclude Capitol rioters from potential funding raises questions about how he intends to use the resources. This includes those rioters who directly engaged in violence against law enforcement officers during the attack on the Capitol building.
