Fact Check: Does Only 11 Percent of Bill Go Toward ‘Real Infrastructure,’ as Trump Claims?

The Claim

Shortly after a bipartisan group of lawmakers gave final passage to President Joe Biden's $1.2 trillion bill to improve and rebuild the nation's aging infrastructure, Donald Trump's office released a statement condemning both the legislation and the 13 GOP lawmakers who helped get it across the finish line.

"Very sad that the RINOs in the House and Senate gave Biden and Democrats a victory on the 'Non-Infrastructure' Bill," the statement, released Sunday, read. "Where only 11% of the money being wasted goes to real infrastructure."
