John Cornyn (R-Texas).
“Sen. Cornyn has reached an agreement with the Department of Justice, which will be issuing a formal order permanently terminating the anti-weaponization fund and making clear in a binding written document that the scope of the audit settlement is limited to only the plaintiffs, including the President, and the IRS,” Cornyn spokesperson Natalie Yezbick said.
The Senate Appropriations Committee announced Sunday it had reached a deal on a stopgap measure to keep the government funded past Sept. 30.
President Trump said talks with Iran will begin Monday to both open the Strait of Hormuz and wind down the war. But Iran has pushed back on the claim.
Trump on Monday has a series of policy meetings and will sign an executive order at 1:30 p.m. EDT.
