Congress has until the end of the week to send the bill to Trump's desk, but the path forward for the rescissions package remains a bit murky.

The House is looking at President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency’s spending cuts after Senate Republicans agreed to cancel $9 billion in funding to foreign aid and public broadcasting.

House Republican leaders are holding a press briefing Tuesday morning as their Senate counterparts debate a rescissions bill the lower chamber passed in June that could make some Department of Government Efficiency funding cuts permanent.

The package, which narrowly passed the House in May, would cull back funding from Public Broadcasting Service and National Public Radio.
