Senate in overnight session as Republicans debate limits on $1.8B Trump settlement
The Senate debated a $70 billion bill to fund immigration enforcement agencies, with Republicans and Democrats attempting to block or limit a $1.776 billion settlement fund for President Donald Trump's political allies. Republicans defeated an amendment to redirect settlement funds to law enforcement injured in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, while Trump expressed uncertainty about the settlement's future despite acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stating it would not proceed.
