CLASS, THE INTERNET ISSUES
FORCING BIG CHANGES FOR LOCAL
STUDENTS, GOOD EVENING I'M
TRYING 21.
AND I'M KRISTINE JOHNSON, A
FUNDING BATTLE BETWEEN
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND NEW YORK
CITY, THE PRESIDENT THREATENING
TO DEFUND DEMOCRATIC CONTROL
CITIES AND MAYORS OF THE
TARGETED CITIES UNITE IN
FIGHTING WITH A CALL AND
UNCONSTITUTIONAL POLITICAL PLOY,
JESSICA MOORE HAS THE STORY.
I BELIEVE THE PRESIDENT IS
FUNDAMENTALLY A HOLY WHICH I

GOVERNOR CUOMO LASHING OUT
AT PRESIDENT TRUMP OVER HIS
THREATS TO STRIP NEW YORK CITY

REPRESENT ARE NOT PRESIDENT
TRUMPS POLITICAL PONDS.
SPOT THE PROBLEM IS THE
CONSTITUTION DOES NOT AGREE

YOU CANNOT HOLD BACK FEDERAL
FUNDING OVER A POLITICAL
DIFFERENCE OR POLICY DIFFERENCE
WHEN IT HAS BEEN ALLOCATED BY
CONGRESS.
SO I THINK THIS IS ANOTHER ONE
OF HIS BLUSTERS.
EARLIER THIS YEAR THE
PRESIDENT THREATENED TO STRIP
FUNDING FROM SANCTUARY CITIES
UNDER THE CONSTITUTION STATE
FUNDS ARE CONTROLLED BY
CONGRESS NOT THE PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOT

TAMPER WITH NEW YORK FUNDING,

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAID IF
THE PRESIDENT CONTINUES TO
