Anti-Weaponization Fund Status: Announced, Then DOJ Said It Was Not Going Forward

The Justice Department announced a proposed $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund in May 2026, but later represented in federal court that the fund had not been established and was not going forward. A July 22 third-party application guide is preserved as a contradicted public source, not as official application instructions.
