What happened
The Trump administration announced plans to cancel $810 million in funding for health, education, and other programs through a 'pocket rescission'. This move was made just before the end of the current fiscal year. Susan Collins stated that the White House budget office intentionally withheld these funds to execute this unlawful cancellation.
Why it matters
The cancellation challenges the congressional power of the purse, as the funds had been approved by Congress. Rosa DeLauro criticized the administration, arguing that the impounding of funds throughout the year was unlawful. The administration characterized the action as a way to eliminate wasteful spending.
Who's involved
- Susan CollinsSenate Appropriations Chair who denounced the cancellation of appropriated funds
- Donald TrumpPresident of the United States whose administration announced the funding cuts
