The acting director of the FBI claims that President Donald Trump’s proposed budget for the law enforcement agency will severely impact their ability to do their jobs and will result in cutbacks in operations at all levels.
According to Politico, Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe told the House Appropriations subcommittee this week that the budget proposal from the Trump White House will have a devastating impact on the agency that is still reeling# — and leaderless — since Trump fired former Director James Comey.
“It will certainly impact us in many ways. It is a broad and deep reduction that will touch every program. it will touch headquarters. It will touch our field offices,” McCabe explained to House members on Wednesday. “It is a reduction that is not possible to take entirely against vacancies. It’s a reduction that will touch every description of employee within the FBI. We will lose agent positions. We will lose analyst positions and, of course, professional staff.”report[/B]
