House GOP Blocks Dem Proposals to Ban Federal Spending at Trump Businesses

House GOP leaders block Democrat’s proposals to prevent taxpayer funds from being used at President Trump’s businesses.
Democrats filed amendments for a spending package to be considered on the House floor later this week
The move is aimed at prohibiting federal funds from being used at Trump-owned entities.
However, the House Rules Committee declined to green light votes on any of those proposals.
Democratic Representative Adam Schiff of the House Intelligence Committee also submitted an amendment to prohibit the Secret Service from spending money at President Trump’s businesses to ensure the president is not — quote — “personally enriched” by the federal government.
