Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) and Tom Suozzi (D-NY) are set to introduce a bill to kill President Donald Trump’s $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund, after blowback on Capitol Hill.

The bill comes as congressional Democrats and Republicans have criticized the fund’s broad eligibility criteria. Specifically, lawmakers are concerned that payouts could go to individuals who were convicted or accused of attacking U.S. Capitol Police on Jan. 6, 2021.
