    Maria Bartiromo asks Senator Eric Schmitt about concerns that the anti-weaponization fund might provide payouts to January 6 rioters. Schmitt responds by emphasizing that the Department of Justice was weaponized against the American people, and individuals targeted by their government, such as Catholics and those censored by the Biden administration, deserve compensation. He states that a system cannot exist where political opponents are jailed without consequences, or dissent is punished by censorship or prosecution, and supports guardrails to ensure appropriate relief for those genuinely victimized.
