Former President Donald Trump, in an interview, had been asked about Democrats' growing criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Lawmakers have agreed on the key components of the bill, but the language will still need to be prepared ahead of a Friday funding deadline.
A congressional race in Illinois on Tuesday pits two Democratic Hispanics against each other — with staunchly different views on immigration policy.
Former President Donald Trump, in an interview, had been asked about Democrats' growing criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Lawmakers have agreed on the key components of the bill, but the language will still need to be prepared ahead of a Friday funding deadline.
This settles appeals both sides were pursuing after a federal jury awarded the former employee nearly $3.2 million last April.
