House Republicans try to cut $1 billion in funding from FBI
A House Republican subcommittee advanced legislation on Friday that would cut funding for the FBI by $1 billion, and decrease overall funding for related agencies to 2022 levels.
The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies approved the bill, which includes a 9% cut in funding for the FBI, in a party-line vote. Included in the $1 billion cut is a $400 million decrease in FBI salaries and related expenses, and new spending limitations on the bureau.
