The ATTEMPTED rating is upheld. The outcome — Cruz genuinely championed his EL CHAPO Act but it never passed, dying in committee — is directly supported by verified sources. (1) The Cruz Senate press release (Jan 3, 2019) was fetched and confirms the title "Sen. Cruz Reintroduces EL CHAPO Act" and that the bill "would reserve any amounts forfeited to the U.S. Government as a result of the criminal prosecution of 'El Chapo'...for border security assets and the completion of the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border," verifying both the sponsorship/effort and the promise's substance. (2) Wikipedia was fetched and the cited quote appears verbatim: "Neither the House nor the Senate version of the legislation received committee or floor votes, and the legislation died at the end of the 115th Congress," establishing failure. (3) The congress.gov S.25 (116th Congress) all-info page returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch (congress.gov and GovTrack both bot-block automated fetches), so the cited primary source could not be fetched directly; however, an independent web search surfaced that same congress.gov S.25 page and corroborated the cited status — introduced by Cruz, "read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary," and it "did not receive a vote." The quote is therefore genuine, not fabricated. Taken together the sources document a real, repeated sponsor-led effort that failed within the normal legislative process (referred to committee, no markup/committee vote/floor vote, never enacted). That is ATTEMPTED, not FULL/CHAMPIONED (never passed) and not IGNORED (he actively promoted it). Confidence is set at 0.82, marginally below the original, to reflect that one of the three cited sources (the primary congress.gov page) could not be reached via WebFetch and was instead verified through independent corroboration; the underlying facts remain firmly established.
