Trump Urges Defunding of FBI and DOJ Amid Criminal Charges and Controversy.
TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump called on Republicans in Congress to defund the Department of Justice and the FBI, one day after pleading not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Trump's proposal would be a sharp turn for Republicans, who have supported robust funding for law enforcement in the past. Trump faces two Justice Department criminal investigations led by a special counsel appointed by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland. Congress appears unlikely to follow through on Trump's demand.
