Capitol Police Sue Trump Over $1.8 Billion Fund Allegedly Rewarding January 6 Rioters
May 25, 2026Metropolitan Police Department Officer Daniel Hodges and former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn—both of whom were injured defending the Capitol—have officially filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration. The suit aims to completely dissolve the administration’s newly unveiled $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” blasting it as a lawless, taxpayer-funded slush fund designed to reward rioters and paramilitary groups who committed violence in Trump’s name.
The officers, who continue to face daily harassment and violent threats for their actions during the riot, warned that the mere existence of the fund acts as a green light for future political violence. The lawsuit states: “Those who enact violence in President Trump’s name will not just avoid punishment, they will be rewarded with riches.”
If allowed to begin making payments, the Fund will directly finance the violent operations of rioters, paramilitaries, and their supporters who threatened our lives that day, and continue to do so. Taxpayer money should never be used as a bounty to reward those who try to tear down a democracy.
STAND WITH THE FIRST RESPONDERS.
