  • A federal appeals court on Tuesday rejected a Trump administration push to reinstate a sweeping pause on federal funding, a decision that comes after a judge found the administration had not fully obeyed an earlier order.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has rejected an attempt by the Trump administration to reinstate spending freezes on grants and loans, as reported by Bloomberg Law.
