Original: Press Release: Marcy Kaptur, Patty Murray Say Trump Energy Department Withholding Congress-Approved Funds
Democratic Representatives Marcy Kaptur and Senator Patty Murray say the Department of Energy under the Trump administration is withholding funding that Congress already approved. The two senior appropriators are pressing for the money to be released, arguing the executive branch is defying congressional spending decisions.
