Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced Tuesday he plans to introduce a resolution rejecting former President Donald Trump's call to "defund" the Department of Justice and FBI.
In a letter to Senate Democrats, Schumer said he will offer a resolution when the chamber returns to Washington next week.
"Donald Trump's call for defunding federal law enforcement agencies is a baseless, self-serving broadside against the men and women who keep our nation safe," Schumer wrote.
"The good work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice sends criminals to prison for bank robbery, sex trafficking, child pornography, hate crimes, terrorism, fraud, and so much more. The former President and his allies in Congress must not subjugate justice and public safety because of their own personal grievances."
According to Axios, the move is an attempt to force Republicans to choose between an unpopular stance or breaking with Trump — using the chamber's Democrat majority to put Republicans in a bind.
