As lawmakers search for who’s to blame for the rising tide of political violence, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, Jamie Raskin, is looking for answers from the Trump administration on cuts to key violence protection programs.
In a new letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that was first shared with NOTUS, Raskin blasts Republican cabinet members for gutting some of those violence prevention programs.
“The success of planned attacks like these is not inevitable; many such plans have been prevented in the past by early detection, careful monitoring, and zealous investigation and intervention by your respective agencies,” the letter reads.
