WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s request to cancel about $9 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting spending is nearing passage in the Senate, an action that would have a tiny impact on the nation’s rising debt but could have major ramifications for future spending fights in Congress.

The U.S. Senate is due to begin voting late on Tuesday on President Donald Trump's request to slash billions in spending on foreign aid and public broadcasting previously approved by Congress, the latest test of Trump's control over his fellow Republicans.

Trump said that the autopen use is "one of the biggest scandals" in "50 to 100 years" because Biden "knew nothing about what he was signing."

EXCLUSIVE: The White House is investigating former President Joe Biden’s use of the autopen, with senior administration officials telling Fox News Digital that they already are reviewing tens of thousands of documents turned over by the National Archives and Records Administration.

Joe Biden said every pardon and commutation he issued was his decision, calling Republican "liars" for alleging his aides illegally used an autopen.
