A group of Senate Republicans is pushing their colleagues to withhold support for bipartisan annual spending legislation if it does not include funding for the border wall, a signature project of former President Trump's for which Democrats hope to rescind funding. In a Monday letter, GOP Sens. Mike Braun (Ind.), Ted Cruz (Texas), Mike Lee (Utah), Cynthia Lummis (Wyo.) and Marco Rubio (Fla.) vowed not to back the appropriations legislation if dollars are not set aside for the wall.

Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) said that while he was not calling for Wray to be fired, he thought Wray had “been a little derelict” in addressing concerns from Congress and urged him to be more transparent. “I think if he's not, there's going to be increasing pressure, you know, for him to maybe move on down the road,” Braun said. “I wouldn't be calling for it myself. But I think he puts himself in a spot where he's vulnerable.”
