Two of the most recognizable police officers from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday seeking to kill the Trump administration's $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" before it can pay out a single dollar to the rioters who beat them.
Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges filed the complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, calling the fund "the most brazen act of presidential corruption this century."

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in the District of Columbia by retired U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn and Metropolitan Police Department officer Daniel Hodges, asks a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that the Treasury Department has made to the Justice Department to implement it.
Both Dunn and Hodges defended the U.S. Capitol after a mob of Trump supporters attempted to stop the certification of the Electoral College on Jan. 6, 2021.
The fund was announced Monday by the Justice Department. In a statement announcing the $1.776 billion fund, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the fund would "provide a systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare."
