Republicans are preparing to remove Secret Service funding from their party-line immigration enforcement bill, according to two people granted anonymity to disclose private discussions.

Both people stressed that the decision isn’t final — and Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Wednesday morning that talks are still ongoing. But the expected decision comes as the Trump administration has struggled to sell GOP senators on the money, part of which would go toward President Donald Trump’s ballroom project.

Senate Republicans plan to discuss the matter at a closed-door lunch Wednesday afternoon.

Speaker Mike Johnson refused to rule out whether individuals convicted as part of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol would be eligible to receive money from the Trump administration’s new “Anti-Weaponization Fund” — or say whether he would oppose a scenario where they would qualify.

“We don’t know any of the details of that settlement fund,” Johnson told reporters at a news conference Wednesday morning, pointing to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s testimony before the Senate. “He said they are setting up a fund to compensate all Americans who have been the subject, the target, of lawfare or weaponization of the federal government.”

In a Tuesday hearing intended to cover the president’s budget request for the Justice Department, Blanche also refusedto say whether those who assaulted Capitol Police would be eligible for money in the newly-created account. He said the payouts would be determined by members of a commission overseeing the fund, who are selected by the attorney general and have yet to be named.

“He did not say who will be eligible,” Johnson said of Blanche. “I’m not going to comment on that until it comes up.”

The $1.8 billion account was announced on Monday as part of a settlement with President Donald Trump in his lawsuit against the IRS. Trump had sued for $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns. Democrats quickly cast it as a slush fund intended to enrich allies of the president, and even Senate Republicans have signaled skepticism.

Senate Republicans took the last step Wednesday to tee up their $72 billion party-line immigration enforcement bill for floor action.

Following the 11-10 vote in the Senate Budget Committee, GOP leaders plan to begin debate on the measure either later Wednesday or Thursday. Since lawmakers are scheduled to leave town for a weeklong Memorial Day recess, Republicans need to clear the bill through both chambers by week’s end if they are going to meet the June 1 deadline President Donald Trump set for clearing the legislation.

The Budget Committee approved only one of two pieces of the package, since Senate GOP leaders are still revamping the portion of the bill that contains $1 billion for Secret Service security upgrades — including “enhancements” to the president’s White House ballroom project.

Senate Budget Chair Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he didn’t know if that funding for the renovation of the East Wing of the White House would ultimately remain in the legislation. “We’ll see how that plays out,” he said, arguing that the shooting last month during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner “should wake us up a little bit” to the need for a more secure location to host formal events the president attends.

That funding faces procedural challenges under the strict rules of the reconciliation process GOP leaders are using to pass the package at a simple-majority threshold, rather than meet the 60-vote bar under the Senate filibuster. But several Republican senators have raised objections as well.
