Watchdog rules Trump cannot cancel $800 million in Congress-approved spending
Original: Watchdog says Trump can't cancel more than $800M in spending approved by Congress
A federal watchdog has determined that the Trump administration cannot cancel more than $800 million in spending already approved by Congress. The ruling reinforces that the executive branch cannot unilaterally withhold funds appropriated by lawmakers, a long-running point of conflict between the White House and Capitol Hill over spending authority.
Why now: The ruling limits the administration's attempts to cut funding Congress has already appropriated.
