: Former president Donald Trump has urged fellow Republicans in Congress to shut down the government to thwart the federal prosecutions against him, although any funding lapse was unlikely to stop the cases from being pursued.
“Republicans in Congress can and must defund all aspects of Crooked Joe Biden’s weaponised government,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social media site late on Wednesday, calling it “the last chance to defund these political prosecutions against me and other Patriots.” The Special Counsel’s Office prosecuting Trump and his allies had no formal comment, but it is covered by “the permanent, indefinite appropriation for independent counsels,” according to its latest funding statement.
“Donald Trump is rooting for a government shutdown and couldn’t care less what it would mean for American families,” the campaign said in a statement. Biden, a Democrat, defeated Trump in 2020 and is seeking re-election in 2024.
