Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Monday that the Senate will consider the the $740 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) despite President Donald Trump’s threat to veto the bill if it doesn’t terminate special protections for social media platforms.
Speaking on the Senate floor, McConnell listed the mammoth defense bill, which is approved by Congress every year to fund the Department of Defense and the national security programs of the Department of Energy, as one of the remaining legislative items that will be taken up before Congress wraps up for the year.
