Judge Orders Assurance That Trump-Linked Fund Will Not Proceed

A federal judge issued a ruling aimed at blocking a fund associated with former President Trump. The judge pressed the administration for a formal guarantee that the fund will not move forward. The decision represents the most forceful attempt so far to hold the administration to its commitments. Officials had previously outlined plans to create the fund. The ruling seeks to ensure those plans are set aside. The judge's order underscores judicial scrutiny of executive actions. Enforcement of the guarantee will depend on further court oversight. Observers will watch how the administration responds to the court's demand.
