Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) told Newsmax Tuesday that he had two amendments to an appropriations measure to defund prosecution efforts against the former President Donald Trump.

His proposals, if implemented, would result in the defunding of special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecutions, as well as those of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis.

Clyde says on “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” that “his plan does have a chance.”

“We haven’t yet taken up the Justice Department bill in committee. I am a member of that committee and have the right introduce an amendment. I believe that this amendment, which I will introduce, will defund federal prosecutions against presidential candidates prior to the November 24 election.

Who’s really running Congress? Hakeem Jeffries thinks he’s in charge. He’s taking advantage of the slim margin the GOP has in the House, hampering the GOP’s conservative agenda. Well, there’s only one solution… flip Democrat-held seats like mine and grow the GOP majority in Congress this November! I’m Lt. Col. David Flippo. That’s only going to happen if you help me topple my Democrat opponent. Are you on board? 1776 Coalition Sponsored

He adds: “Also a second amendement that I will be adding to this is that any state or federal money that goes to this office, if they decide prosecute a candidate for president prior to the election in 2024,” he says. “And if this can be done, I think it will work.”

The Justice Department is directly affected by the two proposed amendments made to the Commerce, Justice, Science, and related Agencies Appropriations Act.
