Trump Asks Court to Allow Him to Withhold Foreign Aid

“President Donald Trump wants the Supreme Court to decide by Sept. 2 whether the administration must spend billions of dollars in foreign assistance approved by Congress,” USA Today reports.

“In an emergency request filed Aug. 27, the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to immediately pause a judge’s order that the administration had to spend the money. That includes about $12 billion that needs to be committed by the end of September before the funds expire.”
