A provision to pay for the nearly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill through enhancing Internal Revenue Service enforcement has officially been taken off the table, Republican Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has set a deadline to start debate by Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reported.
