49. 1 billion in discretion fundi funding and the disaster of the relief fund. Today we welcome chad wolf, the acting secretary of the department of Homeland Security. Thank you for being with us. Mr. Secretary, the fy 21 budget proposes 49. 7 billion in discretionary funding for the department of Homeland Security. This is a cut of 750 million below the current year level. I want to be clear, absent of any in acted law to affect such a transfer, this subcommittee will continue to include funding f for the secret service.

A. E. Or bit is forming a sort of maritime choke hold on to turkey for taking libya is the final chance to prevent this chokehold from taking place althou

A. A.

Its not likely to change the course of events but whats remarkable about this is this is a very dramatic turn on the eve of this historic vote that we expect to take place in the house of representatives what were hearing from the president in a 6 page letter is essentially summing up the most vitriolic of his tweets that weve been hearing throughout this impeachment inquiry its highly unusual in advance of a trial you wouldnt necessarily have one
