Marjorie Taylor Greene Seeks to ‘Defund’ Special Counsel

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) argued that Republicans should impeach Attorney General Merrick Garland and insisted that her party “refuse to appropriate any funding to Merrick Garland’s Special Counsel and defund any part of the DOJ acting on behalf of the Democrat party as a taxpayer funded campaign arm for the Democrat’s 2024 presidential nominee.”

Playbook: “It sets up a new and explosive spending clash that could easily prompt a government shutdown in the next Congress. Why? MTG and like-minded Trump loyalists will press Kevin McCarthy (or whoever else manages to become speaker) to toe a hard line while Democrats will absolutely refuse to defund the investigations. Watch this space.”
