Bondi Announces Grant Cuts, Cites Inmate Program Funding

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a series of grant cancellations Thursday, citing examples of wasteful spending and inefficient programs within the Justice Department. Bondi emphasized the need for fiscal responsibility and stated that the cuts are part of an effort to streamline the department's budget.

One of the grants highlighted by Bondi was a $250,000 allocation for a program working with transgender inmates. While the specific details of the program were not immediately available, Bondi characterized the funding as an example of where resources could be better allocated.

The announcement comes as the Justice Department faces increasing pressure to reduce spending and improve efficiency. The grant cancellations are expected to save taxpayers millions of dollars and allow the department to focus on its core mission of enforcing the law and protecting the public. Further details on the specific programs affected and the amount of savings are expected to be released in the coming days.
