“A federal judge said Wednesday he intends to issue a new block on President Donald Trump’s effort to freeze an enormous swath of federal spending, citing the White House’s contradictory signals about the policy,” Politico reports.
Said U.S. District Judge Jack McConnell: “I’m inclined to grant the restraining order. I fear … that the administration is acting with a distinction without a difference.”
“A different federal judge has already put the spending freeze on hold.”
