House Passes Bill to Create More Affordable Housing In Priority for Trump

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., the ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee, accused House Republicans of attempting to sabotage the legislation by attempting to reduce restrictions on institutional investors last Thursday.

Warren warned that changing the restriction on institutional investors “kills the bill.”

“It is an attempt to kill the bill. Changing a provision from what Donald Trump has specifically asked for and the language he has specifically endorsed and that has passed the Senate 89-10 is nothing more than an attempt to kill the housing bill overall,” she said.

For weeks, Senate and House Republican leaders have been embroiled in a dispute over how to address the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown.
