Collins condemns Trump's cancellation of congressionally approved spending
Original: Sen. Susan Collins condemns “illegal actions” as Pres. Trump cancels spending approved by Congress
Senator Susan Collins has publicly condemned what she called "illegal actions" after President Trump moved to cancel spending that had already been approved by Congress. The criticism is notable coming from Collins, a Republican whose chamber controls spending. The dispute centres on the president's authority to withhold funds Congress has appropriated.
Why now: A senior Republican senator breaking ranks to call the president's spending cancellations illegal is an unusual and consequential intraparty clash.
