Democrats are charging that the Trump administration is pushing House Republicans to delay the measure

(CNN) The House and Senate are still at odds over a Russia sanctions bill that passed in the Senate last week, in a dispute that Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Corker described Wednesday as "total silliness."

The two chambers are quarreling over technical changes that the House Republicans say need to be made in the bill, which passed the Senate 98-2.

But Democrats are charging that the Trump administration is pushing the House to delay the measure because it's opposed to further sanctions on Russia, as well as language in the bill that would give Congress the ability to review any loosening of sanctions.

"I suspect that the administration does not want this bill to see the light of day because the President always seems to be protecting Vladimir Putin and the Russians," Rep. Eliot Engel, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee told CNN. "If he didn't act this way then some of the suspicion might go away, but when he acts this way it makes you even more suspicious."

The Senate bill, which includes sanctions against Iran and Russia, has been held up in the House over what's called a "blue slip" problem, the constitutional requirement that revenue-generating bills must originate in the House. It's an issue that has frequently been raised on sanctions measures.
