In a unanimous decision, the U.S. House of Representatives has voted to repeal a controversial provision in a government funding bill that allows senators to sue for $500,000 over data seizures, including phone records related to the January 6 investigations. The measure has sparked significant backlash among lawmakers, leading to a notable divide among GOP members. House Democrats have also introduced bills aimed at ending what they described as a self-serving payout scheme for senators. These legislative actions come amid rising concerns over federal surveillance powers and alleged ethical violations by some senators pushing for the payouts.
