House and Senate Republicans are at odds over Trump's 'anti-weaponization' fund

House and Senate Republicans were fuming as they left Washington last week for a long holiday break. The source of the torment, however, was notably different on each side of the Capitol, and the distinctions forecast a clash between the chambers when Congress returns next month.

While many Senate Republicans were furious with the Trump administration for creating a new $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund at the Justice Department — a surprise development prompting Senate GOP leaders to abandon plans to move an immigration enforcement bill before the weekend — many House Republicans welcomed the idea of compensating “victims of lawfare.”

Their anger was directed instead at their Senate colleagues for leaving town before the immigration package was passed.

“It’s stupid,” Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) said. “We’ve wasted a whole daggum week, and I think it’s kind of pathetic.”
