Congress had already allocated $535 million for public broadcasters this fiscal year, per TheWrap. PBS is specifically receiving $325 million, which it says accounts for 22% of its total funding.

Trump and other Republicans, including Utah Sen. Mike Lee, have pushed to strip that federal funding, accusing the stations of using taxpayer dollars to amplify misinformation about conservatives. Lee has introduced separate legislation pushing to defund the broadcasters.

President Donald Trump earlier this year signed an executive order aimed at cutting back on funding for public broadcasting.
