Trump Vetoes Two Bills, Spurring Questions About Retaliation

President Donald Trump issued the first vetoes of his second term, killing two bills sponsored by Republicans in Congress, including one from a prominent lawmaker who bucked the administration over the release of files pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump vetoed legislation late Tuesday to help complete a water pipeline project, a measure backed by Representative Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republican who is close to the White House. Trump in his veto message said he rejected the bill to protect American taxpayers “from funding expensive and unreliable policies.”
