President Donald Trump was urged to veto the omnibus spending bill by a group of Republican House members, who say it’s an example of a “massive take-it-or-leave-it bill” that’s now commonplace in Washington.

A letter to the president signed by 14 Republicans called on Trump to veto the bill, claiming that it was “negotiated behind closed doors” and greatly expands the size of the federal government.
