On Thursday morning, Senate Republicans voted against an amendment proposed by Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York. The amendment aimed to prevent the Department of Justice from creating a $1.8 billion fund intended for what has been described as an 'anti-weaponization' initiative for supporters of former President Trump. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche informed lawmakers earlier this week that the administration planned to abandon this proposal. Notably, Senator Susan Collins from Maine was among those involved in the vote.
