Schumer Introduces Resolution to Condemn Trump’s Call to “Defund” Federal Law Enforcement Agencies

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is introducing a resolution next week to condemn former President Donald Trump’s call to “defund” federal law enforcement agencies.

In a Tuesday letter to his Senate colleagues, Schumer wrote that Trump’s call is “a baseless, self-serving broadside against the men and women who keep our nation safe.”

The former president asked Republicans in Congress to “defund the DOJ and FBI” last week, as federal investigations into his efforts to overturn the 2020 election continue.

Schumer’s resolution is intended to show support for the federal law enforcement agencies that protect the nation and its citizens. He is urging his colleagues to join him in condemning Trump’s call to defund them.

The resolution is expected to be introduced next week and will be debated in the Senate. It is unclear at this time whether the resolution will pass, but Schumer’s letter indicates that he is confident that his colleagues will support it.
