What happened

Nothing was filed. Bloomberg reported on June 6, 2017 that 'no legislation has been filed' and that the White House had 'yet to outline the plan, beyond broad principles.' An actual infrastructure outline did not appear until February 2018, about nine months later, and it never passed.
