An amendment to block the Justice Department from establishing a nearly $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund failed 49-50, with Sens. Susan Collins, Dan Sullivan, and Jon Husted voting in favor. Sens. Bill Cassidy and Cory Booker filed an amicus brief arguing the fund violates constitutional clauses, following a temporary court halt in May. The fund remains subject to ongoing litigation in federal court.
