NBC News - Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said today that Democrats would try to kill President Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund, forcing Republicans to vote to preserve the compensation money. “This week, Senate Democrats will launch a coordinated effort to kill the slush fund before one cent goes out the door,” Schumer said in a letter. It’s unlikely that Democrats will be able to stop the fund in the Senate. They can, however, force Republicans to record their votes, offering a line of attack for Democrats in the upcoming midterms. Additionally, Sens. Adam Schiff, Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin introduced a “Drain the Slush Fund Act,” which they said would “prevent taxpayer dollars” from being paid to Trump and his allies, including former Jan. 6 defendants.
