Susan 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 of Maine has condemned what she called the Trump administration's "illegal actions" after President Trump moved to cancel spending previously approved by Congress. Collins, a key Republican voice on appropriations, criticized the move as an overreach of executive power, intensifying debate within the GOP over the president's efforts to withhold funds lawmakers had already authorized.
Why now: A senior Republican senator publicly breaking with President Trump over impounded congressional funding is a notable and contentious development in US politics.
