Jay Jones Responds to Miyares’ Comments Refusing to Protect Virginians from Federal Funding Freeze

Miyares: “That’s just not what we do.”

 

Norfolk, VA — Today, when asked if his office would take any steps to fight President Trump’s funding freeze, Jason Miyares responded, “that’s just not what we do.”

Jay Jones released the following statement in response:

“Protecting families is the job—not protecting Donald Trump’s agenda. This reckless freeze on loan and grant funding puts the livelihoods of countless Virginia families at risk. Programs that support small businesses, veterans, law enforcement, and healthcare providers are on the line.

“While other Attorneys General are stepping up to defend their states, Miyares is doing nothing. Virginians deserve better. As Attorney General, I’ll fight for you—not for Donald Trump.”
