I don't believe the J6 rioters will receive a dime of Trump's slush fund.
Not the Proud Boys, not the Q'anon Shaman, nor anyone investigated by the IRS during the Biden years.
Because of some carefully worded stipulations in the decree I don't think the money will get beyond The First Family.
For one, it frees the Trump family from any tax audits so we won't know if any of them were paid a stipend this year. Then, there's a clause that requires recipients remain anonymous and amounts paid out must be kept secret. Again, Trump, his family including Jared Kushner, can basically launder money legally into various accounts without oversight or congressional review.
Given those stipulations, I can't see how that greedy family will give up one cent to dupes in red MAGA hats. Why should they? He'll still have their loyalty because he'll lead them to think he has their backs and some of them must have received secret reparations. To believe money will go to any victims of "lawfare", one would have to assume Trump is a benevolent and generous man fighting for the little guy.
"He gets us", as they like to say.
