Trump allies rush to target Jack Smith in House DOJ spending bill
Fox News
Fox News Digital has learned that at least three Trump allies are preparing amendments to this year's DOJ funding bill targeting the prosecutions against the former president.
Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., a member of the House Appropriations Committee, said he was disappointed that his policy targeting Trump’s prosecutions was not included in the base text but that he would be offering it as an amendment later in the legislative process.

"When we have our full House Appropriations Committee markup for CJS next month, I will file my amendment to prohibit taxpayer dollars from funding the prosecution of a presidential candidate before the 2024 election. This measure would impact Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg, and Jack Smith, as they all receive federal funds," Clyde said. Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
