Some Senate Republicans break with Trump over 'anti-weaponization fund' concerns - PBS NewsHour



Hours before they were scheduled to vote, Senate Republicans instead refused to advance a key bill for Trump because of concerns over the administration's "anti-weaponization fund." The acting Attorney General made an unplanned trip to the Capitol to personally argue the case for the fund. Congressional correspondent Lisa Desjardins was there as this happened and reports. - Aired on 05/21/2026.
