Trump loses bid to pause judge's order barring funding freezes
Donald Trump on Tuesday lost the latest round in a court battle over his administration's bid to freeze federal spending after an appeals court declined to pause a court order requiring the government to continue delivering funds.
The U.S. Department of Justice had asked the Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to put on hold an order a Rhode Island federal judge issued on Monday, after finding the administration had defied his January 31 ruling by continuing to withhold billions of dollars in federal funding.
The Justice Department argued U.S. District Judge John McConnell engaged in «intolerable judicial overreach» as Trump's authority to direct agencies to carry out actions consistent with his policy preferences was «well-settled.»
But the three-judge appellate panel in a short order said it was confident McConnell would quickly clarify the concerns the administration had raised, including that his order bars Trump from exercising his lawful authority.
The ruling marked the first appellate court setback that Trump's agenda has faced since he returned to office on January 20. The 1st Circuit did not bar the administration from seeking again to have McConnell's order put on hold and said it could file additional papers seeking to do so by the end of Thursday.
