Supreme Court Greenlights Trump Admin Withholding Billions in Foreign Aid . . . for Now

(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.

The Trump administration asked the justices to step in on Monday, arguing the lower court’s order “raises a grave and urgent threat to the separation of powers.”
