The House is looking at President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency’s spending cuts after Senate Republicans agreed to cancel $9 billion in funding to foreign aid and public broadcasting.
House Republican leaders are holding a press briefing Tuesday morning as their Senate counterparts debate a rescissions bill the lower chamber passed in June that could make some Department of Government Efficiency funding cuts permanent.
Congress had until the end of day on Friday to pass the rescissions request, or the funding would have had to be spent as originally intended.
