In\u2063 response, House Democrats introduced a bill\u2064 to rename the Miami\u200c Federal Correctional Institution to &#8220;Donald J.\u200d Trump Federal Correctional \u200bInstitution,&#8221; citing Trump&#8217;s legal issues. The move was a direct response \u200dto the\u2063 Republican bill. Rep. Connolly \u2062highlighted Trump&#8217;s legal troubles as justification for the name change.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p>Days after House Republicans <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/house-republicans-propose-renaming-dulles-airport-after-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proposed<\/a> renaming the Washington Dulles International Airport after former President Donald Trump, Democrats introduced a bill seeking to put Trump\u2019s name on a different place: a federal prison.<\/p>\n<p>Reps.

The proposal was a direct response to a Republican-sponsored bill introduced earlier this week that would name the Washington Dulles Airport after the former president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen our Republican colleagues introduced their bill to rename Dulles after Donald Trump, I said the more fitting option would be to rename a federal prison,\u201d said Connolly in a <a href=\"https:\/\/connolly.house.gov\/news\/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=4984\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release<\/a>. \u201cI see no reason to wait. Donald Trump faces nearly 100 felony charges. He has been found liable of sexual abuse and, subsequently, for defaming the victim of that abuse. He has been fined hundreds of millions of dollars in a civil fraud case. It is only right that the closest federal prison to Mar-a-Lago should bear his name. I hope our Republican friends will join us in bestowing upon Donald J. Trump the only honor he truly deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump, who is currently leading in the polls for the 2024 presidential election, faces 88 criminal charges spread across four different indictments, including in Florida, where special counsel Jack Smith has charged Trump with mishandling classified documents after leaving office. Each of the four criminal cases against the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kenyan-ministers-rally-around-metas-facebook-after-watchdogs-ultimatum\/\" title=\"Kenyan ministers rally around Meta\u2019s Facebook after watchdog\u2019s ultimatum\">leading presidential candidate<\/a> has hit various roadblocks, and none of the trials have yet begun.<\/p>\n<p>The New York hush money case, where Trump is accused of falsifying business records in an attempt to cover up alleged payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels, will likely be the first trial against Trump to get off the ground as it is scheduled to begin on April 15. The case is widely viewed as the weakest criminal case brought against the former president.<\/p>\n<p>Rep.
