  "summary": "Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche rescinded an order setting up a $1.776 billion fund, according to Axios. The fund was part of a May settlement of a lawsuit by President Trump against the IRS over the disclosure of his tax records.\n\nThe fund was intended for individuals claiming they suffered from government \"lawfare\". According to Axios, Blanche's new order does not change the settlement provision requiring the attorney general to create the fund, and the settlement's terms can only be changed via a written agreement from the Trumps and the government.\n\nSen. John Cornyn and other Republicans had been resisting Blanche's confirmation, but an agreement was reached to end the fund, allowing Cornyn to support Blanche's nomination, as reported by The Hill and CBS News.",
