A key media ally of President Donald Trump is starting to circle the wagons in the wake of the Justice Department’s establishment of his $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” stemming from his lawsuit against the IRS. One America News, a pro-Trump network that promoted false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, is reportedly weighing claiming a piece of the taxpayer-funded slush fund, according to a report from CNN. A lawyer from OAN told the outlet that the company is “seriously considering pursuing rights under this fund and will make a decision shortly about whether to file a claim.” Most major cable providers dropped OAN after it settled multiple defamation lawsuits related to the 2020 election conspiracies.

CNN reportedly reached out to Fox News to inquire if they’d seek a claim under the fund, given that the network also settled a defamation lawsuit, similar to OAN, brought by Dominion Voting Systems for $787 million. Fox News has not responded as of yet, according to the report.
