Per a Washington Post report, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) claims that after the 2013 government shutdown over the Affordable Care Act both he and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) “had their money spigot turned off by (GOP) leadership because blocking access to money is how leadership disciplines members.”

Cruz made the claim in an interview with the New Hampshire Journal, then followed it up the next day with comments at a brunch. He declined to name names, however.
