Senate Democrats on Monday moved to shut down the Trump administration's controversial anti-weaponisation fund, introducing the Drain the Slush Fund Act in Washington as the Justice Department itself backed away from the £1.32 billion ($1.776 billion) scheme earlier the same day.
The bill from Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff and Elissa Slotkin would block taxpayer money from going to President Donald Trump, his associates, people convicted of crimes and anyone involved in the 6 January 2021 attack on the Capitol.
