Two prominent police officers from the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack have filed a federal lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's $1.776 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund.

' Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges are seeking to prevent the fund from disbursing any money to rioters who assaulted them during the Capitol attack.

The officers’ complaint describes the fund as illegal, claiming it violates the Constitution and federal law, particularly the 14th Amendment, which prohibits using federal funds to support insurrection.The fund was created as part of a settlement of Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS regarding leaked tax returns.

The officers argue that the lawsuit itself was a strategic move with no legal merit and that the fund could put them in further danger by providing financial support to individuals who have threatened them.Both Dunn and Hodges continue to receive death threats linked to the events of January 6.The officers are represented by the Public Integrity Project, an organization founded by a former Jan.6 prosecutor.

As of now, the Department of Justice has not made any payments from the fund, and officials have indicated it is too early to comment on its potential implications.
