House Republicans Threaten Crackdown On FBI After DeSantis Pledges To Fire Director

  • Ron DeSantis vowed to dismiss FBI Director Christopher Wray if elected president, accusing the agency of becoming "weaponized" against conservatives.
  • DeSantis and House Republicans believe the FBI and DOJ have become partisan and propose defunding and restricting them.
  • The threats echo former President Donald Trump's call to defund federal law enforcement agencies that investigated him.
  • Sources within federal law enforcement are furious that politicians are seeking to politicize their work for political gain, warning of consequences for public safety.
  • DeSantis questioned the NAACP's focus on issues in Florida rather than problems like underperforming schools and high crime rates in places like Baltimore and Chicago.
