A familiar figure intends to find out. On Wednesday morning, former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn, perhaps best known to much of the public for his testimony to the bipartisan Jan. 6 committee, filed a lawsuit with the Public Integrity Project seeking to invalidate the Republican administration’s fund, claiming that it emboldens violence against police and rewards sedition.

Another officer, Daniel Hodges, who also defended the Capitol on Jan. 6, joined Dunn in bringing the lawsuit.

MS NOW’s Britt Miller spoke to Dunn about the lawsuit and this week’s developments. The decorated officer said:

I had the opportunity to talk with lawyers about this. And we are going to sue to stop this illegal slush fund. Now, obviously, we encourage everybody else to sue. Everybody should, this can’t happen. So, we believe that we, the officers in this suit, will be harmed by this. We have been subjected to countless death threats in addition to all the violence that we faced on Jan. 6. But for just speaking out the truth, I mean, I guarantee you somebody’s watching this right now and typing death threats to us right now. And deaths only continue to embolden and potentially continue to arm a militia that Donald Trump will have on retainer.

Commenting on those expected to benefit from the fund, Dunn added, “These guys are asking for handouts and grifting and just wanting taxpayer money.”

The lawsuit comes one day after former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin appeared on MS NOW and argued that Trump’s fund is “illegal.”

2. Yes, but it's also to shield himself and his greedy spawn of any IRS audit

Also in the future.

It's like making their corruption un-checked for life, although it's not a law passed by Congress so it remains against the laws of the land, of which that corrupt family doesn't give a F about because they are above the law (as in will never see the insides of jail cells).
