Donald Trump late Friday evening complained about fellow Republicans purportedly responsible for the failure of a bill that would defund the various prosecutions of the former president.
Trump took to Truth Social, saying he got the heads up from Georgia's right wing Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) that the effort to suspend funding for Trump's criminal cases had failed due to Republicans. Trump faces numerous local and federal criminal cases, and has already been convicted of 34 felonies in the state of New York.
"Just heard from Great Congressman Andrew Clyde of Georgia that the Amendment to Defund the Prosecution of a Presidential Candidate prior to November’s Election did not pass, 26-25," Trump complained. "It lost by only one vote, because one Republican, Mike Simpson of Idaho, stupidly voted NO, and two 'Republicans,' David Valadao of California and Dan Newhouse of Washington, the only two remaining Impeachers in the House of President Donald J. Trump, didn’t show up to vote."

He continued:
"They must have had more important things to do."
"Also, Mike Garcia of California, David Joyce of Ohio, and Juan Ciscomani of Arizona, didn’t show up to vote. Thanks very much, fellas, for your great support!"
