The Democratic-controlled House on Dec. 8 approved a military funding bill with a supermajority vote after President Donald Trump threatened to veto the measure.

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle backed the $731 billion defense budget, despite a threat from Trump that he would not support any bill that did not include anti-censorship measures targeting social media platforms and drawdowns of troops from overseas deployments.
