Rep. Jordan urged Congress to 'defund lawfare activities' of Jack Smith, Trump prosecutors

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, proposed an appropriations package earlier this month that would "defund the lawfare activities" of state and federal prosecutors leading "politically sensitive investigations," referring to Special Counsel Jack Smith, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. 

Jordan's proposal followed Trump's recent conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records, which were brought by District Attorney Bragg.

"The Committee on the Judiciary and its Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government continue to conduct vigorous oversight over the Biden Administration in an effort to protect Americans’ fundamental freedoms," Jordan wrote.

Jordan played a key role last year in advancing reforms via the appropriations process, including "proposals to prohibit the funding of politically sensitive investigations, protect whistleblowers against retaliation, prevent taxpayer funds from being used to implement radical regulations, prohibit the funding of disastrous Biden immigration policies, and stop the funding of government censorship – among other proposals – which were included in Subcommittee or Full Committee-passed bills."

"We have seen rogue prosecutors abuse the rules of professional conduct and their duty to do justice in service of politicized ends," Jordan previously told Fox News Digital.
