Two Capitol Police officers have filed a lawsuit to prevent participants of the January 6th Capitol riot from benefiting from a new $1.8 billion fund. The fund, intended for allies claiming political prosecution, was created after Trump dropped a lawsuit against the IRS.

Two police officers who defended the US Capitol from a pro-Trump mob on January 6, 2021, filed suit Wednesday to block those who took part in the violence from receiving payouts from a new fund totaling nearly $1.8 billion. The fund, destined for  Trump allies claiming political prosecution, was created this week in exchange for President Donald Trump dropping his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS.
