“My legislation would give Congress the authority and the power to fund special counsels every single year, just like all of our other appropriation bills,” Greene said.
Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Thursday that she wants to move control of special counsel funding from the Department of Justice to Congress.
“To fund a special counsel right now…the people that have control of that is the Department of Justice itself,” Greene said on the “John Solomon Reports” podcast. “You hear people yell, ‘Defund Jack Smith,’ and I’ve said it before myself. But we are unable to do it because the Department of Justice controls that slush fund.”
