President Donald Trump's Administration is studying the creation of a fund of up to $1.7 billion to compensate political allies and other individuals investigated by the Justice Department during Joe Biden's term.

According to the New York Times, the plan has not yet been approved, but is discussed urgently by officials from the White House, the Department of Justice and the Department of Treasure.

The initiative would seek to compensate people close to Trump who faced high legal costs in open federal investigations during the last administration, including some related to the January 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol.

In accordance with the report, the Government analyzes using as a reference a historical compensation fund created during the presidency d e Barack Obama to compensate Native American farmers and ranchers discriminated for decades in access to federal subsidies.

The discussion coincides with the attempts of Trump's environment to resolve a 10,000 million dollar lawsuit filed by the president against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the filtration of his tax returns to the US media.

The newspaper indicated that one of the options being evaluated would be excluding Trump from the eventual fund, but allowing his allies to receive financial compensation while the withdrawal of the demands is negotiated.

The case has put under pressure on acting attorney-general, Todd Blanche, Trump's former defense attorney, due to questions about possible conflicts of interest within the administration.
