Trump Urges GOP to Use Funding Deadline to Defund Prosecutions Against Him

Trump calls on Republicans to use funding deadline to defund Justice Department prosecutions against him and others.

Trump faces indictments in two cases from special counsel's probe into classified docs and effort to overturn 2020 election.

Trump warns deadline is "last chance" for Republicans to act before government funding expires on Sept 30.

Trump pushes Republicans to use "power of the purse" though consensus lacking even within GOP conference.

Any partisan House funding bill faces uphill battle in Democrat-controlled Senate which has advanced bipartisan bills.
