Marjorie Taylor Greene calls for no federal funding to New York over Trump conviction

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Saturday called for New York to receive no federal funding due to the recent conviction of former President Donald Trump.

"NO Federal funding to New York!" Greene wrote on the social media platform, X.  "I’m calling for it!!! New York needs to drop their conviction of Pres Trump!"

A New York jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records during his 2016 presidential bid to conceal a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an alleged sexual encounter with her.

Trump, who is also the 2024 presumptive GOP presidential nominee, now becomes the first U.S. president to be found guilty of felony crimes.

Multiple Republicans have spoken out against this verdict and Trump has vowed to appeal it. 

"The whole thing was illegal! Republicans should not vote to fund a single penny to that corrupt state," Greene's post continued.
