(Newser) – President Trump is seeking to cut what could amount to billions of dollars in federal funding to several Democratic-run cities in response to “anarchy, violence, and destruction.” In a Wednesday memo, Trump directed Attorney General William Barr and Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought to find ways to cut funding to the cities, per the New York Times. He mentions Seattle; Portland, Ore.; Washington; and New York but directs Barr to identify “anarchist jurisdictions” using any factors he “deems appropriate” within 14 days.
