WASHINGTON, DC-Ahead of the passage of H.R. 5371, a funding bill to reopen the federal government, U.S. Representative John Rose (TN-06) introduced the Repealing Enrichment for Senators Exploited by Targeting Act (RESET Act), legislation which would undo a provision of the bill which enables eight U.S. Senators to seek $500,000 (per occurrence) in compensation following subpoenas of their phone data executed by the FBI under former President Joe Biden.
Rep. Rose released the following statement:
"The Senate should know better than to ask American taxpayers to foot the bill for the rogue actions of the DOJ under Joe Biden's leadership," Rep. Rose said. "Tennesseans have suffered enough because of the many failed policies of the last administration - and they shouldn't be forced to pay more. I voted in favor of this funding bill because the government simply had to reopen. However, I am committed to making sure no Senator can enrich themselves from this vital bill to reopen the government."
Background:
Rep. Rose signed onto a letter, sent Oct. 22, to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi requesting a criminal investigation into the activities of Biden Administration Special Counsel Jack Smith, for potential Fourth Amendment violations during Operation Arctic Frost. He has consistently criticized the previous administration for overreach and the censorship of conservative Americans.
