Rep. Andy Biggs reintroduces legislation to deter the weaponization of government agencies

Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., has reintroduced legislation to address the weaponization of government by defunding prosecutors who pursued Donald Trump and banning the use of drones to spy on Americans.

"We want to prevent this weaponization," Biggs told the Just the News, No Noise TV show last week. "We're going to stop it, and we're going to actually punish people. That's what we're going to do.

"If you punish people, I call that specific deterrent, and which creates a general deterrent, as soon as one or two people get specifically deterred, it deters everybody else," he added.

Bigg proposes ending federal funds from the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office and Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.  Both were involved in prosecuting Trump during his 2024 presidential campaign.

Fulton County DA Fani Willis was recently ordered by Fulton Superior Court Judge Rachel Krause to pay $54,264 for failing to comply with open records laws during the Trump case.

The legislation also would revoke the security clearances for the 51 intelligence officials who denied the authenticity of the Hunter Biden laptop, prevent federal agencies from using drones to conduct surveillance on American citizens, and prevent state and local law enforcement from using property seized through civil assets forfeiture to prosecute the president or presidential candidates.  

Biggs also wants to amend current laws to allow businesses to reject shareholder proposals that do not related to the financial success of the company and to clarify that businesses meeting with federal agencies in Washington DC are not doing business in the n.

The bills were originally introduced in 2024 and were reintroduced by Biggs in January.
