Jordan said "rogue prosecutors" have abused "the rules of professional conduct and their duty to do justice in service of politicized ends" — though he does not name anyone specifically in the letter. He recommended that the Appropriations Committee adopt language to eliminate federal funding for state prosecutors or state attorneys general involved in such activity and "to zero out federal funding for federal prosecutors engaged in such abuse."
Jordan proposed adopting language that eliminates any funding for the FBI that is not deemed essential for the agency to execute its mission.Share on twitter
