Trump Gives Instructions to Republicans After Arrest and Legal LossOne day after he was arrested and arraigned on 34 counts of falsifying business records, Donald Trump is calling for Republicans to "defund" the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ).
Trump on Tuesday became the first former or current U.S. president to face criminal charges. He is alleged to have falsified records related to hush-money payments to former adult film star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal prior to the 2016 election.
Hours before he appeared in a Manhattan courthouse, the former president suffered a legal hit in another case when he lost an attempt to keep former aides from testifying to a grand jury as part of Special Counsel Jack Smith's probe into his alleged involvement in the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot.
"REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS SHOULD DEFUND THE DOJ AND FBI UNTIL THEY COME TO THEIR SENSES," Trump wrote Wednesday morning on Truth Social. "THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TOTALLY WEAPONIZED LAW ENFORCEMENT IN OUR COUNTRY AND ARE VICIOUSLY USING THIS ABUSE OF POWER TO INTERFERE WITH OUR ALREADY UNDER SIEGE ELECTIONS!"
