At a hearing, Jamie Raskin accuses acting Attorney General Todd Blanche of signing a pardon that he says gives Trump, his entire family and their businesses immunity from any federal investigation, audit, lawsuit or prosecution up to now. Raskin also says Blanche wants a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded fund that he calls a "slush fund" for January 6 rioters. He adds that Trump pardoned more than 1,600 of them but would not pardon certain crimes he calls too toxic, and says the DOJ now protects those people.

These were crimes so toxic that President Trump wouldn't even pardon them when he was pardoning en masse more than 1 ,600 other cop -beating racist January 6 writers and insurrectionists. These are the people that the DOJ now protects. And now Todd Blanche wants to create a $1 .776 billion taxpayer funded slush fund to turn the January 6 foot soldiers into mega millionaires. And while Blanche was at it, he signed an outrageous super pardon to give not just Donald Trump, but his entire family and all their businesses complete and total immunity from any investigation, audit, lawsuit or prosecution by any federal agency for any criminal or civil violation against the United States up until this point.
