🚨 #BREAKING: 🚨 #BREAKING: @Jim_Jordan submits legislative proposals to DEFUND lawfare by Jack Smith, Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg, and Letitia James.PN Attached is the letter Subcommittee worked with then-Chairwoman Granger, Subcommittee Chairman Rogers, and the Committee on Appropriations to propose important reforms through the appropriations process.1 These reforms include proposals to prohibit the funding of politically sensitive investigations, protect whistleblowers against retaliation, prevent taxpayer funds from being used to implement radical regulations, prohibit the funding of disastrous Biden immigration policies,and stop the funding of government censorship—among other proposals—which were included in Subcommittee or Full Committee-passed bills. Immigration enforcement and border security. Reining in abusive federal law enforcement agencies. Stopping politicized prosecutions. Protecting FBI whistleblowers. Protecting Freedom of Speech online. Addressing Rising Crime in Urban American Cities Stopping politicized prosecutions. We have conducted oversight of the troubling rise in politicized prosecutions and the use of abusive “lawfare” tactics to target political opponents. We have seen rogue prosecutors abuse the rules of professional conduct and their duty to do justice in service of politicized ends. We recommend that the Appropriations Committee, with appropriate consultation from leadership, include language to eliminate federal funding for state prosecutors or state attorneys general involved in lawfare and to zero out federal funding for federal prosecutors engaged in such abuse. In addition, the Judiciary Committee has passed specific bills that would help to address politicized prosecutions and we encourage the Appropriations Committee to consider including the policies contained in each: H.R. 2553, the No More Political Prosecutions Act, and H.R. 2595, the Forfeiture Funds Expenditure Transparency Act. https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2024-06-03%20JDJ%20to%20Cole%20re%20Appropriations%20Riders%20List.pdf
