There is “nothing to like” about President Donald Trump’s newly announced fund to pay people who say they have been persecuted by the government, U.S. Sen. John Curtis said.

“I’m really frustrated by it,” Curtis, a Republican, said in an interview Friday.

The Department of Justice announced the nearly $1.8 billion fund earlier this week, which was established as part of a settlement of a lawsuit Trump filed against the Internal Revenue Service over a disclosure of his personal tax records.

The fund, a DOJ announcement read, will provide “a systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare.” Among them could be rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in an effort to stop the certification of former President Joe Biden’s election.

It has drawn the ire of Democrats who have dubbed it a slush fund for Trump to pay off political allies, and prompted significant outcry even among some of the president’s GOP allies in Congress — Curtis among them.

Curtis said he and other Republican senators met with members of the administration and representatives from the DOJ earlier this week regarding the fund.

“I think it’s fair to say that the Republican senators, as a group, are very unhappy with it,” he said Friday.

U.S. Sen. Tom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, expressed his dismay to reporters at the Capitol ahead of the meeting, The Hill reported.

“Imagine that, a fund that is set up to compensate people who assaulted Capitol Police officers and other responding agencies,” he said. “People that had pled guilty to physical acts … may actually be able to get compensated. How absurd does that sound coming out of my mouth?”

Asked what kind of oversight Congress may have over the fund, Curtis said he wasn’t sure.

“I think we will do all we can to put guardrails on it,” he said. “I don’t know quite what the answer is, but if the administration doesn’t, we will.”

Curtis’s frustration over the fund comes as the issue of Congressional authorization for the war in Iran grows increasingly tense in Washington.

On Thursday, Republican House leaders canceled a planned vote on a resolution that would force Trump to abandon the war in Iran when it became clear the measure would succeed. It followed a vote on a similar measure on Tuesday in the Senate, as four Republicans joined with Democrats to advance the resolution. Curtis was not among them.

“Whether I like it or the public likes it or not, we have the 1973 War Powers Act, which does authorize the president for 60 days,” Curtis said Friday. “Maybe we need to address that, and I think we actually do, but it does [authorize him].”

“What I have said,” Curtis added, “is that I will not fund after that.”

The conflict has, however, now stretched beyond 60 days, and Curtis noted that the law includes a 30-day withdrawal period.

“We passed the 60 but not the 90,” he said. “That’s where I draw the line, is funding without congressional authorization beyond the 90 days, and I’m very receptive to sitting down and saying, hey, there’s some things I would authorize, let’s do it, [and] there’s some things I would not authorize.”
