(DCNF)—The Supreme Court temporarily allowed President Donald Trump to withhold $4 billion in foreign aid funds.
U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, ordered the administration to pay out billions of dollars in foreign aid on Wednesday.
In a brief order, Chief Justice John Roberts allowed Trump, for now, to hold back funds he notified Congress that he would not spend on Aug. 28.
