Mayors of Portland, Seattle, NYC say Trump playing political games with federal funds

Senator Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said the Trump administration is trying to bully those who don't agree with his police tactics.

"Trump may admire dictators like Putin and Duterte, but there is no place for that behavior in Portland, in Oregon, or in the United States of America," said Merkley.

"Instead of working on a national plan to address the pandemic and save lives, Trump and his administration are wasting time threatening to withdraw funding from Portland and other cities," said Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore.
