Trump bows to Senate GOP with abandonment of ‘anti-weaponization’ fund

President Trump's administration has decided to scrap the controversial "anti-weaponization" fund, which had drawn criticism as a potential slush fund for the president to distribute money to his allies. This decision follows pressure from Senate GOP leaders who viewed the fund unfavorably. By abandoning the fund, the administration may have preserved a larger $72 billion legislative package that was at risk due to these concerns. This move highlights the influence of Senate Republicans on Trump's policy decisions, reflecting the ongoing tensions between the executive and legislative branches.
