Pennsylvania GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick is vowing to block a $1.8 billion compensation fund for Trump allies, citing concerns over transparency and accountability in the use of taxpayer dollars. Fitzpatrick's move comes as many congressional Republicans have expressed surprise and frustration over being left in the dark about the fund's creation. The fund was established under a 2008 agreement that provides payouts to former presidents when they leave office, but has been used for a wider range of purposes under Trump. Fitzpatrick is exploring ways to amend or repeal the agreement to prevent future misuse.
