Trump rails against CNN when asked about $1.776B fund

Описание: President Donald Trump declined to commit to permanently scrapping a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund on Wednesday, telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins he still considered the controversial initiative “a beautiful thing.”

The comments inject fresh uncertainty into the Senate’s effort to pass $70 billion in new immigration enforcement funding. But Senate GOP leaders are powering ahead with plans to pass that funding — despite the remaining sharp disagreements in the party over how to handle the controversial settlement fund.

Collins rolls the tape of her Oval Office exchange with President Trump and discusses GOP backlash against the fund with CNN chief Congressional correspondent Manu Raju.
