BREAKING: House Republicans passed a resolution condemning efforts to abolish the police, seeking to preserve resources that go toward local law enforcement despite several top party members calling to defund federal agencies such as the FBI and DOJ.
The House voted 301-119 to pass the resolution on Thursday with 87 Democrats joining nearly all Republicans to advance the measure. Two Republicans voted against the resolution. The bill is one of several pieces of legislation being introduced this week in tandem with Police Week, a national recognition of law enforcement officers celebrated annually since President John F. Kennedy.
The Durham Report detailed the FBI’s investigation into alleged links between the Russian government and then-candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election. The report ultimately concluded the investigation was inherently flawed as there was no proper basis to conduct it in the first place, and it also found that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s campaign played an outsize role in pushing collusion claims to the media and to the FBI.
