Trump admin live updates: Trump says Musk will 'pay the consequences' if he funds Democrats

Wednesday is set to be a big day of meetings as Senate Republicans try to chart a path forward on Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Members of the powerful Senate Finance Committee will go to the White House to meet with the president at 4 p.m., multiple White House and Hill sources confirmed. To ABC News.

The Finance Committee is responsible for writing the tax policy components of the bill, including the extension of the Trump 2017 tax cuts, a key priority for the package.

The whole committee is expected to attend the meeting, as well as Majority Leader John Thune and GOP Whip John Barrasso, who are both members of the panel.

Senate Republicans are separately expected to meet behind closed doors as a conference Wednesday to discuss the parameters of the bill as a group. This meeting comes as GOP leadership looks to expeditiously chart a path forward for the package in the upper chamber.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order raising tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 50% on Tuesday afternoon.

The 50% tariff on steel and aluminum takes effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on Wednesday.

The order aims to counteract low-priced foreign steel and aluminum, which the administration believes undermine U.S. manufacturers. It also aims to mitigate any potential national security threats posed by imports.

"I have determined that it is necessary to increase the previously described steel and aluminum tariffs to adjust the imports of steel and aluminum articles and their derivative articles so that such imports will not threaten to impair the national security. In my judgment, the increased tariffs will more effectively counter foreign countries that continue to offload low-priced, excess steel and aluminum in the United States market and thereby undercut the competitiveness of the United States steel and aluminum industries," Trump wrote in the order.

At least a half dozen arrests were made outside Republican Sens. Ron Johnson, Thom Tillis and Bill Cassidy's offices on Tuesday after several people in makeshift body bags opposing the GOP's megabill to fund President Donald Trump's agenda resisted Capitol Police officers.

"People who rely on Medicaid and Medicare will die," the demonstrators chanted.

The "body bags" illustrated how the legislation would mean "countless" people would lose their lives and livelihoods, according to a release by the group, Sunrise Movement. Dozens of officers assisted on the scene as the protest turned rowdy outside Tillis' office.

"Which side are you on now, which side are you on?" demonstrators sang before being detained.

One demonstrator wearing a shirt that read, "You're literally killing people" was detained by Capitol Police outside Cassidy's office while holding a makeshift tombstone that said: "Cause of Death Medicaid Cuts." The person held the sign over a second demonstrator covered in a white sheet and flowers.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt continued to rail against former President Joe Biden's use of the autopen -- mechanical devices used by several presidents to automatically add a signature to a document -- during her briefing on Tuesday.

In her remarks, she said it is "something that I believe the Department of Justice is looking into" and that the "American people deserve answers."

Reuters reported on Monday that Ed Martin, the DOJ's pardon attorney, wrote in an email to staff that he's been directed to investigate the final pardons issued by Biden and whether Biden "was competent and whether others were taking advantage of him through use of AutoPen or other means."

ABC News previously reported that Martin said he would review the Biden pardons. Martin, at the time, said that he doesn't think Biden's use of the autopen is necessarily a problem, even though Trump suggested that's what he believes makes them invalid.
