What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

President Donald Trump is reportedly attempting to cut congressionally approved spending across the government. The administration's bid involves clawing back between $800 million and $810 million in federal funds allocated for programs related to immigrants, minority groups, and climate change. This move is viewed by some lawmakers as an attempt to assert sweeping control over government funding and defy Congress regarding its direction of federal funds.
