"Trump Urges Defunding of Federal Law Enforcement Amid Criminal Charges"

Former President Donald Trump is calling on Republicans in Congress to defund federal law enforcement, including the DOJ and FBI, ahead of a government funding deadline this fall. House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan has also suggested using the appropriations process to limit funds going to these agencies. However, Democrats and some Republicans have rejected the idea, with Sen. Susan Collins stating that she strongly opposes defunding the FBI and DOJ. The back-and-forth presents a new twist in the long-running political clash between the parties, with Republicans previously attacking Democrats as the anti-police party.
