Democratic Senator Adam Schiff, joined by Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, introduces new legislation aimed at blocking the Justice Department's controversial "anti-weaponization fund." The bill would prevent President Donald Trump, members of his administration, and future presidents from making claims on the fund. Schiff says Democrats want to "put an end to this" and plans to force Senate votes that could put Republicans on the record over the issue. The move sets the stage for another heated battle between Democrats and Republicans over the use of federal resources and executive power.

00:48will be barred but it doesn't preclude him bringing other cases of grievances etc and seeking
00:54a monetary payment from taxpayers nor does it rule that out with the vice president to his cabinet
