Over 100 House Republicans have already co-sponsored a bill brought by Rep. August Pfluger (R-Texas), to rescind a $6 billion tranche of funds President Joe Biden ordered released to Iran as part of a prisoner exchange last month.

The bill to rescind the funds comes amid allegations that Iran helped the Hamas terrorist group plan a breach of the Gaza barrier and carry out a widespread attack in southern Israel on Oct. 7.
