Justice Department cutting grants that help crime victims

Acting on recommendations from the Department of Government Efficiency, the Justice Department is cutting grants to hundreds of programs across the country that provide services to crime victims, according to a former DOJ official familiar with the matter and documents obtained by NBC News.  

Attorney General Pam Bondi has reversed some of the cuts, the former official and a current Justice Department official said. One restored cut was for a program that provided funds to domestic violence shelters so that they can accommodate the pets of victims.
