President Donald Trump offered to inflict political damage on lawmakers who try to limit civil asset forfeiture, making a joke about a practice that has come under serious criticism in recent years from Democrats and libertarian-minded Republicans.
During a meeting at the White House with county sheriffs, Trump said he would destroy the career of a Texas state legislator who had proposed restrictions on seizures of property belonging to suspected criminals.

Do you want to give his name? Trump asked Rockwall County, Texas, Sheriff Harold Eavenson after he complained about the legislator. Well destroy his career.
The comment prompted laughter from participants in the meeting.
