House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio is calling on Congress to stop funding Department of Justice investigations into elected officials, political candidates and their families until a new policy for how they are managed is developed.
In a letter to House Appropriations Chairwoman Kay Granger, Jordan, who has used his powerful position as committee chairman to criticize the DOJ for its investigations into former President Donald Trump, is calling on Congress to stop funding what he describes as “politically sensitive” investigations until the DOJ “establishes a policy requiring non-partisan career staff to oversee such investigations.
The letter from Jordan to Granger obtained by CNN comes after Jordan deployed his staff to work with Granger’s team behind the scenes for months and builds on momentum from House Republicans who have vowed to limit funding to the FBI and DOJ. Regarding the FBI specifically, Jordan wrote, “We recommend that the appropriations bills eliminate any funding for the FBI that is not absolutely essential for the agency to execute its mission.”
