A federal judge on Wednesday clarified that the executive branch under President Donald Trump retains authority to pause federal spending as long as it complies with existing statutes and regulations.
In a four-page order issued Wednesday, U.S. District Judge John McConnell reaffirmed that while a temporary restraining order remains in place against the administration’s broader funding freeze, the government is still permitted to limit access to federal funds in accordance with applicable laws. The ruling underscores that the White House does not need a court's permission to cut off funding if the decision aligns with existing laws and regulations.
“The court’s previous order does not bar both the President and much of the Federal Government from exercising their own lawful authorities to withhold funding,” McConnell wrote.
SO TELL what here is NOT what the judge said ?
