The House of Representatives is set to repeal a controversial provision in a recent law, which allows senators to sue the federal government for millions of dollars if their personal or office data is accessed without their knowledge. This provision, inserted by Senate Majority Leader John Thune, has sparked widespread criticism and accusations of self-dealing. The inclusion of this lawsuit provision did not sit well with many lawmakers, leading to threats to derail the entire funding bill. Some senators argue this is a necessary protection against politically motivated investigations, while others plan to use it to sue the Justice Department and Verizon.
