President Trump departing the White House in May. On Wednesday, four House Republicans sided with Democrats to demand Mr. Trump withdraw U.S. forces from the conflict with Iran.
Several Republicans suggested they would insist on adding a measure to bar the president from creating a fund to pay people who claim to be victims of government persecution.
