Jan. 6 rioters could get big payouts from President Donald Trump’s new “Anti-Weaponization Fund.”

But maybe not in Connecticut.

The payments could face a 100% tax under a proposal from state Sen. Bob Duff (D-Norwalk), expected to become the next Connecticut Senate president.

Five people were killed and 174 police officers were hurt when a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol in 2021.

“It’s just really terrible and difficult to even think about,” Duff said. “That anybody who’s associated with Jan. 6 would get any kind of compensation is disgusting.”

Trump dropped a $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service in exchange for the new $1.7 billion fund.

In Connecticut, roughly a dozen defendants could qualify for payments, including Patrick McCaughey III of Ridgefield, who was sentenced to seven years in prison for crushing a Capitol police officer in a doorway.

“People were destroyed,” Trump told reporters last Wednesday following a visit to Connecticut. “They went to jail. Their families were ruined. They committed suicide.”

A five-member board appointed by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal lawyer, would oversee the fund.

Duff said that no one should profit from the Capitol riot.

“Anyone in Connecticut that got any money from the ‘slush fund,’ Connecticut would just tax 100% of it and we would keep it all,” he said.

Gov. Ned Lamont supported Duff’s proposal in a social media post.

“This is a good idea,” Lamont wrote on X. “And we should invest any revenue into the new fund we created supporting the families of fallen police officers killed in the line of duty.”

New York, New Jersey and California are considering similar moves.

“Anyone from California that receives any of those funds, we want to tax 100% of those proceeds,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom said. “That’s an action the state of California can take. It’s an action we look forward to taking.”

Trump isn’t just facing a fight from blue states like Connecticut. In a rare rebuke, Republicans are pushing back as well.

“It’s stupid on stilts,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), who is not seeking reelection, told CNN. “You’re talking about people who assaulted Capitol police officers on Jan. 6, who were then convicted.”

Some Republicans are proposing amendments to give Congress more oversight or block the “Anti-Weaponization Fund” altogether.

“What [Democrat] Tom [Suozzi] and I’s bill does is, it amends that first of all. It takes that appropriation immediately and says it cannot be used, not a dime for this fund,” Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.

The fund is also facing a legal test in the courts, including a lawsuit from the City of New Haven.

“The residents of New Haven work too hard to see their federal tax dollars go into some unregulated $1.7 billion political slush fund that President Trump and his administration can use to pay off his political cronies and criminals,” said Mayor Justin Elicker.

The fund is unpopular with GOP voters, too. Only 24% of Republicans support it and 24% aren’t sure, according to a new Economist/YouGov poll.

It’s unclear if Connecticut has the legal authority to tax “anti-weaponization” payments.

“If this has to go to court, let it go to court,” Duff said.

A U.S. Justice Department spokesperson declined to say whether it would sue over the tax if passed.

“Instead of flaunting his love of lawfare and taxing constituents into oblivion, Sen. Duff should focus on preventing more of his residents from fleeing in droves to free states with lower taxes, less crime, and governments that actually serve the people they represent,” DOJ spokesperson Natale Baldassarre said in a statement.

Meantime, Duff’s Republican counterpart called his proposal “pure political theater.”

“Connecticut Democrats won’t talk about how they made your property taxes and health insurance so unaffordable. Connecticut Democrats won’t talk about the jobs they are driving out,” said Senate GOP leader Stephen Harding (R-Brookfield). “Nothing will change unless more Republicans are elected in our state.”
