Condemning former President Donald J. Trump's call to "defund" the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

House Resolution 308 is a formal statement expressing the sense of the House of Representatives in opposition to proposals to "defund" or significantly reduce the budgets of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The resolution specifically responds to public comments made by former President Donald Trump and argues that these federal agencies are essential for maintaining national security and public safety.

As a "simple resolution," this measure does not have the force of law and would not change federal funding levels or agency operations if passed. For citizens, its primary impact is as a public record of where members of Congress stand on the integrity and funding of federal law enforcement. It serves as a symbolic rejection of rhetoric that the sponsors believe undermines public trust in the country’s legal and investigative institutions.
