Federal judge deals Trump a court blow — citing comments from his press secretary

Raw Story  

A federal judge in Rhode Island has blocked President Donald Trump's controversial move to freeze the dispensation of federal grants and funding to nongovernmental organizations — citing in part comments made by his press secretary. "Because of the breadth and ambiguity of the 'pause,' the Court must consider the States’ TRO motion today based on the effect it will have on many — but perhaps not all — grants and programs it is intended to cover," wrote Judge John McConnell. "About twenty minutes before the Defendants filed the Notice, the President’s Press Secretary sent a statement via the X platform that said: “The President’s EO’s on federal funding remain in full force and effect and will be rigorously implemented,” McConnell noted. "During the pendency of the Temporary Restraining Order, Defendants shall not pause, freeze, impede, block, cancel, or terminate Defendants’ compliance with awards and obligations to provide federal financial assistance to the States, and Defendants shall not impede the States’ access to such awards and obligations, except on the basis of the applicable authorizing statutes, regulations, and terms," wrote McConnell.
