Sen. Marsha Blackburn has placed a hold on the House-passed stopgap spending legislation over a controversial grant program, a move that could complicate the legislation’s passage in the Senate as a Friday deadline looms.

The Tennessee Republican said in a statement last week that she placed a hold on the continuing resolution over allegations that a $30 million grant program under the Department of Health and Human Services aimed at reducing the risks of substance abuse was distributing drug paraphernalia. The move followed a report by the Washington Free Beacon that the program would fund the distribution of crack pipes to drug addicts, a claim the Biden administration denied.
