Congressional Discussion on FBI Budget Cuts and Presidential Pardons with Joe Neguse

Published | Video Starts at 03:50

And Mr. Knott, I guess what I would just suggest to you is what you've just described. Yes. Is very different than taking a sledgehammer to the FBI and unceremoniously terminating … If these cuts that President Trump has proposed materialize...there are going to be field special agents in North Carolina who aren't terminated as a result of this budget. … same will go in Colorado. That's very different than what you've described conceptually. And so I would just hope that those of you, those of my colleagues in law enforcement would be willing to step forward and say, listen, this is a bridge too far. (03:50–04:10)
