11:55:01Now PlayingSenate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, along with Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR), hold a press conference to sound the alarm on what they call a highly corrupt GOP spending plan.
The lawmakers break down a newly uncovered $2 billion taxpayer-funded "slush fund" that includes provisions granting Donald Trump and his family absolute immunity from tax investigations. They also slam "Ballroom Republicans" for attempting to push through a billion-dollar, Louis XIV-style White House expansion while middle-class families are being crushed by the skyrocketing costs of rent, gas, and groceries.
Additionally, the senators address the ongoing war with Iran, inflation spikes, ICE funding vs. local community investments, and upcoming efforts to pass a War Powers Resolution to restrain unilateral executive military actions.
