A federal judge has compelled the Trump administration to reveal the architects of a $1.8 billion fund that critics say was designed to channel taxpayer money toward the president's political allies. The ruling arrives not as a partisan skirmish but as a moment of institutional reckoning — notable for the rare bipartisan alarm it has stirred, including among Senate Republicans who seldom break with their own president. Courts, in this instance, are doing what political loyalty could not: insisting that the origins of power over public money be made visible.
