Why Trump's own party has killed his J6 slush fund | The News Agents

Trump wanted taxpayer money set aside for a slush fund for his January 6th allies. But in a rare act of defiance, Republicans have killed off the plan before it could become reality. Why did Trump’s own party draw the line here? Was it a principled stand, a political calculation, or a sign that some Republicans are growing nervous about defending everything linked to January 6th? And Has Trump pushed Republicans too far this time? Later, Rep Suhas Subramanyam joins us to discuss the Department of Justice's handling of the Epstein files. # #Podcast #UKPodcast #PoliticsPodcast #News #Politics #NewsAgents #EmilyMaitlis #JonSopel #LewisGoodall Download The News Agents with Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall from 5PM every weekday on Global Player: https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/42KuVj/ Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@thenewsagents The News Agents website: https://www.thenewsagents.co.uk/ The News Agents is a Global Player Original podcast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with us on the Socials!
