Rep. Andrew Clyde plans to defund Trump prosecutions until November 2024 using the appropriations process.
Rep. Andrew Clyde Proposes Amendments to Defund Prosecution Efforts Against Former President Donald Trump
Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) has taken a stand against the prosecution efforts targeting former President Donald Trump. In an effort to protect the integrity of our elections and restore faith in our government, Clyde has unveiled two amendments to an appropriations bill.
Defunding Prosecution Efforts
Clyde’s proposed amendments aim to defund the prosecution efforts against Trump by targeting key individuals involved in the process. The amendments would strip federal funding from special counsel Jack Smith, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis during the 2024 presidential election.
Specifically, these amendments would prohibit the use of federal funding for the prosecution of any major presidential candidate before the election on Nov. 5, 2024. Additionally, they would prevent taxpayer-funded federal and state prosecutions.
Protecting Taxpayer Dollars
According to Clyde, “Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars have no place funding the radical Left’s nefarious election interference efforts.” He believes that these prosecutions are part of an overt election interference strategy that undermines our Republic and fair system of justice.
Clyde refers to the four criminal indictments against Trump as a “witch hunt” and argues that they are intended to smear and hinder his ability to campaign effectively.
A Call to Action
Clyde plans to introduce these amendments to the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill, which allocates funding to the Justice Department. He believes that Congress must use its power of the purse to protect the integrity of our elections and dismantle the two-tiered system of justice.
He states, “The American people get to decide who wins the White House - not Deep State actors who have shamelessly attacked Donald Trump. I am fully committed to helping lead in this righteous fight.”
By taking a stand against the prosecution efforts, Clyde aims to ensure that the American people have the final say in our elections and restore faith in our government.
