President Donald Trump called on House Republicans negotiating a spending bill to avoid a government shutdown to use the opportunity to defund what he described as “political prosecutions” against him and other individuals who are being targeted by the Department of Justice.

“A very important deadline is approaching at the end of the month. Republicans in Congress can and must defund all aspects of Crooked Joe Biden’s weaponized Government that refuses to close the Border, and treats half the Country as Enemies of the State,” the former president stated on social media. “This is also the last chance to defund these political prosecutions against me and other Patriots.”
