White House plans to block $810 million in funding

The White House announced plans to recoup $810 million in funding appropriated by Congress, a move that has drawn criticism from lawmakers. This follows a previous attempt by the Trump administration to block $4.9 billion in foreign aid through a pocket rescission. The funding cuts include $567 million for Health and Human Services programs and $28 million for HHS research. According to the Government Accountability Office, the Impoundment Control Act may not allow withholding funding without congressional approval, suggesting potential legal challenges ahead.
