Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced a new whistleblower hotline on Monday, designed to report potentially illegal actions linked to President Trump’s restructuring of federal agencies. Schumer highlighted how a temporary freeze on federal funding threatened operations at health centers reliant on federal reimbursements.
