CNN Inside Politics
May 21, 2026

The Trump Administration's controversial "anti-weaponization" fund is turning into a $1.8 billion stick of political dynamite. As today's show begins, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is back on Capitol Hill trying to stem a Republican revolt over the fund, which will be used to pay off Trump allies and supporters, including people who were convicted of crimes over the past decade, January 6th insurrectionists among them. 

Also on today's show: An interview with "The Pitt" actor Noah Wylie, who came to Capitol Hill today to speak about health care.
