US President Donald Trump is facing criticism over the establishment of a fund intended to compensate alleged victims of political persecution. The fund has drawn scrutiny because potential beneficiaries could include participants in the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol. The compensation mechanism has raised questions about the administration's approach to those involved in the violent events that disrupted the congressional certification of the 2020 presidential election results.
