Trump seeks to withhold $800 million in Congress-approved funds
President Trump is moving to withhold roughly $800 million in funding that Congress had already approved, according to reporting carried by Reuters and other outlets. The effort raises immediate questions over presidential authority and the separation of powers, as lawmakers on both sides weigh whether the administration can refuse to spend money explicitly appropriated by Congress.
