Summary
President Trumps $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund for January 6th event participants sparks controversy, causing a rift between the White House and Republicans. The fund aims to compensate those who feel unfairly targeted by the Justice Department, but many Republicans argue against it, with Senator Thom Tillis calling it stupid on stilts. The disagreement is delaying a $70 billion immigration enforcement bill, and the deadline for the larger bill, June 1st, is now uncertain as Congress heads out for recess.
