Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has announced that Democrats will force votes to block a contentious $1.8 billion legal relief fund proposed by former President Donald Trump.
The initiative, often referred to as a 'slush fund' by critics, has already drawn sharp opposition and stalled Senate floor action in recent weeks.
The fund, which aims to provide legal support for individuals and entities targeted by the Department of Justice, has faced legal challenges.
A federal judge recently issued a temporary block on its implementation, raising questions about its future.
Schumer's strategy to force votes underscores the growing political divide over the proposal.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has been in discussions with Republican senators to address concerns surrounding the fund.
