Rep. Subramanyam Proposes Amendment to Strip Payout to Republican Senators Investigated After Jan. 6th from Government Funding Bill

WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Representative Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10), a member of the House Ethics Committee, has introduced a House Rules Committee amendment to strip a government funding bill provision that would allow eight Republican U.S. Senators to claim at least $500,000 in taxpayer money over phone record collections during Jan. 6th investigation. This provision would also limit the federal government's ability to defend itself against such claims.

"Republicans couldn't help but use this as another opportunity to further their own corruption. In this case, Senate Republicans are bemoaning national debt on one hand but spending millions in taxpayer money in a Republican Ransack," said Rep. Subramanyam. "This bill has Congress spending more taxpayer dollars on kickbacks to Republican Senators than on affordability and healthcare costs. This corrupt provision needs to go, and Republicans must join us in voting it down if they are serious."

Rep. Subramanyam will be testifying in front of the House Rules Committee around 8:20pm. You can watch that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgDppRkoBOA
