GOP revolt over Trump fund

Senate Republicans are mounting a significant challenge to President Trump's proposed $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization fund," which aims to provide restitution for those allegedly targeted by federal agencies.

Prominent lawmakers, including Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz, have expressed deep reservations, with McConnell labeling the initiative "morally wrong." During a heated briefing with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, several senators reportedly voiced concerns that the fund could be used to compensate individuals who assaulted police on January 6.

This internal party confrontation highlights a growing rift between the White House and establishment Republicans over the use of executive power.
