Democratic senators urge probe into planned $250 Trump bill

Democratic senators are urging the Treasury Department's Office of the Inspector General to investigate planned expenditures for the production of a $250 bill featuring Trump's image, which opponents call "illegal," Axios reports. Current U.S. law prohibits depicting living persons on currency, so issuing a $250 bill with Trump's portrait requires congressional approval. The senators also demand clarification on whether the department discussed the project's legality.
