White House says Trump funding freeze remains in effect despite rescinding OMB memo


The OMB memo had directed federal agencies to pause grants and loans pending a review of compliance with the agenda of President Donald Trump.

Wes More, in a statement to NBC News, said,"We are continuing to watch unrestrained chaos and contradictory guidance from this White House, adding to the confusion and fear that Marylanders are feeling right now. Leavitt, in a statement to CNBC, said, "In light of the injunction, OMB has rescinded the memo to end any confusion on federal policy created by the court ruling and the dishonest media coverage." But the White House also said a "federal funding freeze" remains in "full force and effect" to give agencies time to review programs for their compliance with President Donald Trump's agenda.
