Newt Gingrich: House Republicans should 'cut off' funding to special counsel Jack Smith

In an appearance on Fox News tonight, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich called on GOP lawmakers to "cut off" funding for special counsel Jack Smith's office.

“I think Republicans are gonna have to have the guts to stand up and say, ‘No, this is over.’ And the first place to do that is the budget...just cut off the money on Sept. 30,” he said, referring to the last day of the fiscal year when government funding is set to run out unless new funding legislation is signed into law.

“They should do whatever it takes to close down this entire anti-constitutional, ruthless breaking of the law,” Gingrich said.

He went further to decry the grand juries involved in each of the indictments, calling them unfair and not an accurate jury of Trump’s peers. The solution, Gingrich said, was to go after Smith’s funding.

With the former president already facing three indictments, Gingrich also argued that notching a fourth in Georgia would only embolden voters to be Trump campaign surrogates.
