Trump wants to use the "Stop Terror-Financing..." bill to crush his enemies. The HR9495 bill was voted down last week, when 144 Democrats & one Republican voted against it. But it may be coming up again. Dozens of Democrats still support the bill, which gives the Republican-controlled House room to pass it next week.
