A bipartisan measure backed by MAGA ally Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado was vetoed by President Donald Trump, which Boebert has speculated is retaliation for her support of the release of the files related to late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
The bill, H.R. 131, was titled the "Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act" and cleared Congress without opposition. It was designed to help finish the long-delayed Arkansas Valley Conduit (AVC), a southeastern Colorado pipeline project related to the Bureau of Reclamation.
