The Justice Department on Monday announced the creation of a $1.776 billion fund to compensate President Donald Trump’s allies who claim they were unfairly targeted by the previous administration.

CNN interviewed two pardoned J6 rioters who are excited about the prospect of a payout. Plus, a CNN NewsNight Panel debates the merits of the fund.
