EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) introduced a bill to codify President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at protecting “America’s bank account” against fraud, waste, and abuse.

The U.S. General Fund comprises the assets and liabilities used to finance federal operations. Executive Order 14249, signed March 25, aims to strengthen financial integrity in the fund through various measures. On Thursday, Hinson is introducing the Protecting American Taxpayers from Wasteful Spending Act to codify the order.
