The U.S. House of Representatives voted down a controversial bill Tuesday that would have enabled President-elect Donald Trump to potentially crackdown on non-profits that displease him
The “Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act,” also known as H.R. 9495, would provide tax relief for U.S. nationals who are wrongfully detained abroad, but it would also have granted the U.S. Department of Treasury authority to revoke tax-exempt status of “terrorist-supporting groups.”
