A Republican congressman said on Sunday he found a way to force a package linking foreign aid with some border security reforms to the House floor for consideration.
The legislation, introduced by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, is separate from the $95 billion foreign aid bill passed by the Democrat-led Senate that the GOP-led House has so far refused to take up.
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), who said he just returned from Ukraine, told “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan on CBS that, as of Friday, the group filed with the House clerk for “expedited consideration.”
