What happened

Well supportedReported by 9 independent outlets

President Donald Trump unilaterally canceled almost $1 billion in federal funding without the consent of Congress, using a budget maneuver called a pocket rescission. Separately, the Government Accountability Office found that the Trump administration violated the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 by withholding $78 million in health research money appropriated by Congress.
