Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) is proposing two amendments to an appropriations bill that would defund the various prosecutions of former President Trump.

He is adding to the defense of the former president mounted by Trump allies in the House as they circle the wagons in the face of four indictments.

Clyde, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, on Monday announced plans for two amendments to the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (CJS) fiscal 2024 appropriations bill that would “prohibit the use of federal funding for the prosecution of any major presidential candidate prior to the upcoming presidential election on November 5th, 2024,” according to a press release.

    The American people get to decide who wins the White House — not Deep State actors who have shamelessly attacked Donald Trump…

    Trump made the decision for himself when he committed those crimes.

      Lost 2016 by 3m, 2018 lost 41 delegates in the house, 2020 lost by 7m. He’s a political loser, but the republican part wont cut him off cause they got nothing left to entice voters.
