Trump Admin Pulls Maine Funding For Allowing Men In Women’s Prison

🦞Maine’s Department of Corrections has had all nonessential funding pulled after it allowed a man who identifies as a woman into a female prison.

According to Fox News, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi made the announcement Wednesday, confirming with “Fox and Friends” host Lawrence Jones, that the Trump administration cut funding after the 6-foot-1, 245-pound male was put into general population with biological females.

Jones also asked Bondi if Trump has the authority to determine where federal funds will go.

“We can determine where that money goes — all federal money,” Bondi said. “What’s happening there is they’re not abiding by what President Trump said. They’re allowing men women’s sports. And in the case right now, what we did last night, some breaking news — we pulled all nonessential funding from the Department of Corrections in 🦞Maine because they were allowing a man in a woman’s prison, a giant 6-foot-1, 245-pound guy who committed a double murder with a knife, stabbed his parents to death and the family dog, and, he identified as a woman,”

Bondi said they are protecting the women in prison, just like in women’s sports.

“So, they were letting him be housed in a female prison? No longer,” Bondi said. “We will pull your funding. We will protect women in prison. We will protect women in sports. We will protect women throughout this country. No more of that.”
