The DOJ has already twice filed in court that the fund isn't going forward, coupled with Acting AG Blanche's testimony before Congress that the fund isn't moving forward. In essence, the judge's demand for declarations was an attempt to require her to personally sign-off on any and all future settlements, separate from this non-existent Fund, that the department may make. Judges do not get to insert themselves into the department's routine settlement authority.
