MPD Officer Daniel Hodges Files Lawsuit to Block $1.776B Anti-Weaponization Fund

Metropolitan Police Department Officer Daniel Hodges co-filed a federal lawsuit alongside Harry Dunn on May 20, 2026 to block the DOJ's $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund. Hodges, who was seen in viral footage defending the Capitol on January 6th, called the fund "the most brazen act of presidential corruption this century." The lawsuit cites the 14th Amendment and argues the fund illegally compensates insurrectionists.
