U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Wednesday that the Trump administration had pulled all nonessential funding from Maine’s Department of Corrections after allowing a 6-foot-1, 245-pound man who identifies as a woman to be housed in prison for women.

Bondi spoke to "Fox and Friends" host Lawrence Jones about several topics, including President Donald Trump’s authority to determine where federal funding is delivered.

"We can determine where that money goes — all federal money," Bondi said before directing the discussion to Maine. "What's happening there is they're not abiding by what President Trump said. They're allowing men [in] women's sports.

"And in the case right now, what we did last night, some breaking news — we pulled all nonessential funding from the Department of Corrections in Maine because they were allowing a man in a woman's prison, a giant 6-foot-1, 245-pound guy who committed a double murder with a knife, stabbed his parents to death and the family dog, and, he identified as a woman," she continued. "So, they were letting him be housed in a female prison? No longer. We will pull your funding. We will protect women in prison. We will protect women in sports. We will protect women throughout this country. No more of that."
