BOSTON, July 17 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Friday ruled that U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration cannot rely on a White House budget office regulation to terminate billions of dollars in grants because they are inconsistent with his priorities.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston agreed with a group of Democratic-led states who argued a clause tucked into U.S. Office of Management and Budget regulations beginning in 2020 during Trump’s first term did not give his administration authority to revoke grants if agencies shift their focus.
