NY Gov Kathy Hochul accuses Trump of 'defunding the police,' says DHS is 'withholding' counterterror funds

Ahead of the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul accused President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security of "withholding" millions of dollars in counterterrorism funding.

"The Department of Homeland Security, the agency created in response to 9/11, is withholding 40% of New York State's counterterrorism funding," Hochul asserted during a press conference with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday.

"That 40% adds up to $87 million," she said.
