Congressman Kevin Kiley has introduced a bill to block federal funding for California 's high-speed rail project.

The California representative said the "disastrous project" was "robbing taxpayers" on the same day Governor Gavin Newsom announced new developments in the project's construction.

The project has already received $3.1 billion from the federal government as part of the Biden administration's 2023 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law .
