SUMMARY

The Trump administration is considering the creation of a $1.7 billion compensation fund to reimburse allies who faced federal investigations and prosecutions under the Biden Justice Department.

The proposal, which has not been finalized or approved, could extend to nearly 1,600 individuals charged in connection with the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack.

Three people familiar with internal deliberations described the plan on condition of anonymity. It would use taxpayer dollars to compensate Trump associates targeted by DOJ actions during the previous administration.
