(The Hill) -- President Donald Trump on Monday is expected to sign an executive order aimed at ending cashless bail policies in places like Washington, D.C., his latest effort to use the power of the federal government to exert pressure over liberal jurisdictions.

A White House official confirmed Trump would sign an order that threatens to revoke federal funding for cities and states that have cashless bail policies.

Trump earlier this month railed against cashless bail during a press conference where he announced plans to federalize the D.C. police department and deploy the National Guard around the city.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), a staunch Trump ally, said she would lead legislation seeking to outlaw cashless bail policies.

Axios first reported on Trump's planned executive order.
