President Donald Trump’s administration rushed to clarify a memo pausing federal grants, loans, and financial assistance, saying that the instructions from the White House budget office were not intended as an “across-the-board” freeze.

A small nonprofit, which helps West Virginians with disabilities, found its federal government reimbursements funds were unavailable as of Sunday.

The restraining order, along with a similar directive by another judge from Friday, amounted to a rebuke of the move as an overreach that likely lacked legitimate authority.

A U.S. federal judge on Monday extended a temporary block on the Trump administration's spending freeze. Why it matters: District Judge Loren AliKhan expressed concern in her order that the Trump administration was still enforcing the spending freeze despite the temporary restraining order.

A federal judge spanked the Trump administration Monday over its handling of the government funding pause, saying that despite several court orders and the White House’s efforts, some agencies are still blocking money from going out the door.
