Trump rescinds nearly $1 billion in federal funding without Congress
Original: Trump rescinds nearly $1B in federal funding, bypassing Congress
President Trump has moved to rescind nearly $1 billion in previously approved federal funding, acting without congressional approval. The decision bypasses the legislature's traditional power of the purse, raising questions over executive authority and the fate of programs relying on the money. The move is expected to draw legal and political challenges from lawmakers in both parties.
Why now: The scale of the funding cut and its bypassing of Congress make it a significant story about executive power.
