House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) proposed a package of measures on Monday to “defund lawfare” activities by prosecutors who are leading “politically sensitive investigations.”
The committee, in a post on X, pointed to the prosecution of former President Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee for president.
Special counsel Jack Smith, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and New York Attorney General Letitia James were all named in the post announcing the proposal, which includes measures to rein in “politicized prosecutions.”
“The Committee on the Judiciary and its Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government continue to conduct vigorous oversight over the Biden Administration in an effort to protect Americans’ fundamental freedoms,” Mr. Jordan wrote in a letter to Appropriations Committee Chair Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.).
The proposal comes quickly after a New York jury found President Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records, in charges brought by Mr. Bragg.
