FBI funding slashed by $1B in legislation moving closer to a House vote
Fox News
House Republicans advanced a bill on Friday that would cut FBI funding by $1 billion compared to current funding levels, reflecting ongoing GOP anger with the FBI.
For the FBI, that means a significant 9% cut in funding. The bill chops discretionary funding for the bureau from $11.3 billion in the current fiscal year to $10.3 billion. Pete Kasperowicz is a politics editor at Fox News Digital.
The big chunk of that cut is a $400 million reduction to FBI salaries and expenses. But the bill also imposes new spending limitations on the bureau, which has been a focus of complaints from Republicans who say the FBI has failed to pursue charges against Hunter Biden while it has aggressively worked to prosecute conservatives.
