Tillis Criticizes Trump's Push to Revive $1.8 Billion Fund

Trump defended the proposed $1.8 billion fund as Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis sought assurances before supporting Todd Blanche’s confirmation as attorney general.

Left-leaning outlets center Tillis’s criticism of Trump, with one article presenting the fund as an effort to benefit Trump’s allies. Center outlets mostly connect Trump’s defense of the fund to senators’ demands for assurances, while one article stresses payments to Jan. 6 rioters. Right-leaning outlets pair Trump’s defense of the fund with his backing of Blanche and the senators’ requests for assurances.
