Summary
Nearly $1.8 billion is being sought by President Donald Trump from Congress for his supporters, including people involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
Congress would have to appropriate the money, making lawmakers the next key decision point in whether the request advances.
The request ties federal spending to a politically charged group linked to the attempted insurrection, widening the stakes beyond routine budget negotiations.
