Leonie Brinkema & Todd Blanche

Leonie Brinkema: As a U.S. District Judge, Leonie Brinkema indefinitely blocked the creation and operation of the 'Anti-Weaponization Fund', asserting the need for a sworn declaration from the administration to confirm its abandonment. Her actions are central to the event, ensuring legal oversight of government spending.

Todd Blanche: As acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche publicly stated the government was scrapping plans for the fund, but his refusal to provide a written commitment and the lack of a formal rescission order contributed to the judge's decision to indefinitely block the fund.
