Republican vows to ‘kill’ Trump’s $1.776B compensation fund

One Republican congressman says he is exploring ways to end the Trump Justice Department’s move to establish a tax-payer fueled “anti-weaponization” fund, a move likely to draw the ire of President Donald Trump.

Pennsylvania GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick told reporters he “100%” wants to prevent the nearly $1.8 billion fund that could compensate Trump’s allies from moving forward.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins speaks with Rep. Fitzpatrick, who says he is coordinating his effort with House members from both sides of the aisle. Also, CNN’s Audie Cornish discusses Republican pushback against Trump’s compensation fund with her “group chat.”
