$2,000,000,000.00
Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) reached a roughly $2 billion deal on Tuesday to provide newfunding to the Capitol Police, after warning bells that they were heading toward a funding cliff sparked by the Jan. 6 attack.
Leahy, speaking with reporters, confirmed that they had an agreement. In addition to emergency funding for the Capitol Police, it's also expected to reimburse the National Guard for $521 million, provide funding for security improvements around the Capitol and include an unrelated issue of visas for Afghans who aided the U.S. military effort.
"We're going to take care of the Capitol Police and fix some of the problems that need to be done here. Certainly, take care of the National Guard," Leahy said. "Both sides had to compromise on some things, but I think we're in pretty good shape."
