What this amendment would do

SA 5697, submitted by Mr. Blumenthal, aims to place a limitation on the obligation of funds for bill S. 2.

  • The amendment proposes that no funds from this Act, nor unobligated balances from title IX of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, can be obligated until a specific investigation is finished.

  • The purpose is to wait for the Inspector General of the Department of Justice to complete an investigation into allegations regarding FBI Director Kash Patel.

  • Specifically, the investigation covers allegations of excessive drinking and unreachability, as well as how these issues may have impacted public safety and the readiness of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
