What happened
The White House announced it was rescinding over $800 million in congressionally appropriated funds across multiple government programs. President Donald Trump stated that this action was a "pocket rescission" and was taken by invoking authority under the Impoundment Control Act. Separately, Donald Trump also issued executive orders regarding federal regulators and commercial solutions for certain programs.
