Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she won't vote for a budget without cuts to DOJ and FBI.
Specifically, she wants to target ongoing DOJ investigations into former President Donald Trump.
It adds to a long list of steep conservative demands in exchange for raising the debt ceiling.

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia said on Friday that she would not vote for legislation to fund the government unless it includes cuts targeting ongoing criminal investigations into former President Donald Trump.
