WASHINGTON (AP) — The House is expected late Thursday to approve President Donald Trump’s request to claw back about $9 billion for public broadcasting and foreign aid as Republicans target institutions and programs they view as bloated or out of step with their agenda.

The bill to claw back $9 billion in congressionally approved spending passed over the objections of Republicans who said it abdicated the legislative branch’s power of the purse.

The Senate passed President Trump's request to rescind $9 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting funding early Thursday and sent it back to the House ahead of a Friday deadline.
