Senate Debate on Bipartisan Law Enforcement Support Bills Led by Catherine Cortez Masto and Cory Booker

Published | Video Starts at 15:56

In April, Donald Trump's Administration cut nearly 400 public safety grants administered by its Office of Justice programs without any notice or explanation. Think about that for a second. Programs that I supported, programs that support, that I co-sponsored. Programs that protect police officers and communities. He [Donald Trump] canceled without a justification. I have written letters to the Justice Department. They have not given a justification. I've asked in open hearings, why did you cut this funding for approved grants to states like New Jersey? (15:56–16:08)
