CNN interviewed several January 6 defendants and rioters who say they plan to seek large payouts from Trump’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” with some claiming they deserve millions for lost jobs, prison time, reputational damage, and legal costs tied to the Capitol riot prosecutions. One defendant said he believes he is owed as much as $30 million, while others argued they were unfairly targeted by the federal government and should be financially compensated.

One America News is reportedly exploring whether it can obtain money from Donald Trump’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” arguing the network was harmed by government and corporate actions tied to its pro-Trump coverage after the 2020 election. The report says OAN executives and allies have discussed using the fund to offset financial damage the network suffered after major cable carriers dropped it, potentially making it one of the first media organizations to pursue compensation from the program.
