The Trump administration’s Office of Management and Budget released a new memo Wednesday rescinding a controversial memo issued late Monday that froze a wide swath of federal financial

Two-sentence memo ends days-long threats that sent officials, agencies and nonprofits into tailspin over ‘unconstitutional’ threats

The White House is rescinding a controversial decision that could have halted billions of dollars in federal funding, following a judge's intervention and widespread confusion over the policy's scope.

A new OMB memo appeared to say the freeze was reversed, but the White House said only the original memo was rescinded not the freeze itself.

The restraining order, along with a similar directive by another judge from Friday, amounted to a rebuke of the move as an overreach that likely lacked legitimate authority.

The order came in response to a memo released by the Office of Management and Budget last week directing agencies to freeze funding for federal grants and other programs.

A federal judge spanked the Trump administration Monday over its handling of the government funding pause, saying that despite several court orders and the White House’s efforts, some agencies are still blocking money from going out the door.
