House Republicans signalled their unhappiness with a Senate provision that would allow those affected by operation “Arctic Frost” to sue the government.
Reps. Tom Cole (R-OK), Chip Roy (R-TX), Austin Scott (R-GA), and Morgan Griffith (R-VA) were among the Republicans who voiced displeasure with the provision in a House Rules Committee hearing. The provision would allow affected senators to collect payments for damages, plus attorneys’ fees, of up to $500,000 for each time special counsel Jack Smith retained their call logs.
