Congress receives urgent bill to defund Special Counsel Jack Smith: ‘Immediate action required!’

Republican⁤ Rep. Matt ‌Gaetz Aims to Defund Special‌ Counsel ⁣Investigating Trump

Republican Rep. ⁤Matt ⁢Gaetz of Florida is⁤ taking a bold stance against the special ​counsel ⁢investigating former ‌President​ Donald Trump. Gaetz hopes​ to short-circuit the ‌potential second federal indictment against⁣ Trump ‌by pulling the plug on the ⁣funding for ‌the investigation.

On ⁤Tuesday, Trump made a shocking ‍announcement, revealing that he expects to be indicted​ by special ​counsel⁢ Jack ‍Smith. Smith⁣ is currently ‌investigating whether‍ there was‌ any “unlawful interference with the transfer of power” following the ⁣2020 presidential​ election, ​particularly on January‌ 6, 2021.

Last month,‌ Smith⁤ secured an indictment against Trump, accusing him of⁤ mishandling⁢ classified documents. This‌ has ‍only fueled Gaetz’s ⁣determination to stop‍ the ⁢investigation.

BREAKING:⁣ I ‍will be ​introducing ‌legislation to⁤ DEFUND Jack Smith’s witch​ hunt against President Trump.

They are attacking our democracy and engaging in election interference right‍ now.

Gaetz took to ‌Twitter ​to announce his plan, stating,​ “I ‍will be introducing legislation to DEFUND ⁤Jack Smith’s witch hunt against President Trump. They are⁣ attacking ‍our democracy ‍and engaging⁢ in‍ election⁢ interference right ⁣now.‌ The ⁣United States ​Congress has the⁢ capability to stop this election interference, and ⁢we must act immediately!”

In ‍a video accompanying his ⁢post,‌ Gaetz⁤ emphasized the urgency of ‍the situation, saying, ‍”In the ‍coming hours,‍ the ⁤coming days, I ⁤will be⁤ introducing ‍legislation ⁣under‌ my name in⁢ the House of ⁣Representatives ​as‌ a​ freestanding ⁣bill ‍to defund ⁤the Jack ⁢Smith investigation. We have to stop ⁣sending money ⁣to this.”

The bill ‍introduced​ by Gaetz‍ is ​straightforward,‍ stating that Smith should ‍not have⁤ access to federal funds. Gaetz’s call‌ to⁤ cut off funding for Smith ⁤follows⁣ a similar​ proposal ⁣made by⁤ Republican Rep. Marjorie⁢ Taylor ​Greene‍ of ⁤Georgia ​last month.

Greene ‍also‍ took⁢ to ⁤Twitter⁢ to ​express her support for⁢ defunding the special‍ counsel’s ⁢office and investigation. ⁤She wrote, ‌”This⁣ morning, ​I’m⁢ writing ​an appropriations rider to⁣ DEFUND Special​ Counsel⁣ Jack Smith’s office and entire investigation. I will​ not vote⁤ for ⁣ANY appropriations bill to fund⁣ the weaponization of government. I ‌hope every one⁢ of ⁣my​ Republican colleagues ⁣will​ join ⁢me.”

Jack⁣ Smith ⁤has​ weaponized the ​federal ⁢government​ against ‍President Trump‌ in a ⁢complete lie⁢ about‌ January 6 to ​cover⁣ up​ the​ crimes of Joe ​& Hunter Biden and their ⁢entire criminal​ family.

The Democrats want⁣ to arrest every one of their‍ political‌ opponents.

Greene continued to​ criticize Smith on ⁣Twitter,‍ accusing him of⁢ weaponizing ​the ‌federal ‌government against ‍Trump and ⁣covering up ⁢the⁢ alleged‌ crimes of Joe‍ and ‍Hunter Biden. She ​wrote, “Jack⁣ Smith has weaponized ⁤the federal ‌government‍ against ​President Trump⁤ in ⁣a complete‍ lie about January ⁢6 ‌to ⁣cover‍ up ‍the crimes of‍ Joe & Hunter ‌Biden and their entire⁣ criminal family. ​The Democrats want to arrest ⁤every ‌one ‌of their ⁤political‌ opponents.”

Both Gaetz​ and Greene are determined ‍to use the​ power of appropriations to ⁢stop⁤ what they ⁤perceive⁣ as‍ the weaponization ⁤of⁢ government. They believe that‌ the ⁣investigations should ‍focus ​on individuals like Joe‌ Biden⁢ and ‍Hillary Clinton, whom ​they consider to be the true⁣ criminals.

As the debate over the⁢ funding⁣ of the special counsel’s⁢ investigation intensifies,⁤ it remains ⁣to be seen how ​Congress will ​respond⁢ to ‌Gaetz and Greene’s‍ calls to⁢ defund Jack⁤ Smith.
