Shelby Talcott

This is going to kind of solve our problem.

But they were still pushing.

And really, you know, the president and his advisers met and realized that this was extremely contentious, that lawmakers were not letting go of this.

This was also going to go through the courts.

And there were people inside Trump's orbit, I think, who just thought it wasn't worth it effectively.

And so the president had a conversation earlier this week with some of his team and ultimately decided that they were not going to pursue this fund.

That's the big question.

So initially, the DOJ had issued a statement saying that they were going to comply with this court order that had come down on Friday.

But the court order lasts essentially until I think mid-June.

And so the question was still, OK, well...

Does complying with the court order mean it's dead?

A lot of people said it doesn't.

I think I agree with that.

But then Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch on the Hill yesterday was specifically asked, are you going to pursue this?

Like, is this over?

So the question I have is, you know, there's still that court situation going on.

And so are we going to see the DOJ formally file something to the courts saying it's dead?

And I think that is when people who are still concerned about this will say, okay, finally, we can put this to rest.

Yes.

And actually, Todd Blanche was asked about that specifically.
