That was amid GOP blowback against President Trump's $1.8 billion so-called anti-weaponization fund.
This week, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said discussion among Republicans remained robust, but he expected testimony from Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch to alleviate concerns.
Blanch later told lawmakers, quote, we are not moving forward with the fund, period.

Even before the Senate parliamentarian nixed the ballroom funding, top Republicans acknowledged there may not be enough votes to pass it.
Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana said he would not days after he lost his primary to a Trump-backed challenger.
Senator Lisa Murkowski said the mood further soured this week after Trump endorsed against Senator John Cornyn of Texas.
Trump demanded Senate Majority Leader John Thune fire the parliamentarian and wrote, get smart and tough, Republicans, or you'll all be looking for a job much sooner than you thought.

Yeah, Republicans want to fund ICE and Border Patrol for the rest of Trump's term.
We're talking about approving $72 billion using a tool known as budget reconciliation.
That maneuver allows Republicans to circumvent Democrats who oppose more money for these agencies without reforms to limit the tactics of their officers.
That is in part because Republicans already gave ICE $75 billion last year with very few strings attached.
So after the White House correspondence dinner, some Republicans began pushing to tack on a billion dollars for the Secret Service and include in that roughly $220 million for the ballroom.
But lawmakers can't just pass anything through reconciliation.
And over the weekend, the nonpartisan Senate parliamentarian nixed that funding.
Though even before that, it was not clear there would have been enough Republican votes to pass it.
Well, he pressed Senate Majority Leader John Thune to fire the parliamentarian and kill the filibuster, a demand Trump has made in the past and Thune has resisted.
Trump also wrote on social media, get smart and tough, Republicans, or you'll all be looking for a job much sooner than you thought.
Well, so far, Cassidy has come out against the ballroom money and provided the critical vote to advance an Iran war powers resolution after previously opposing it.
