Republican Senators Concerned Over Compensation Fund
As the Senate resumes after the Memorial Day break, several legislative ideas are up for discussion. However, Republican senators are waiting for input from the Trump administration.
A major concern among senators is President Donald Trump’s proposed compensation fund. This fund, totaling nearly $1.8 billion, intends to reimburse individuals who claim wrongful targeting by the Justice Department.
The Wall Street Journal reported that over a dozen Republican senators have privately asked the White House to eliminate this fund.
