Trump administration sitting on $1.3 billion allocated by Congress
Original: Congress allocated $1.3 billion that the trump administration hasn't spent
Roughly $1.3 billion that Congress allocated has not been spent by the Trump administration, according to reporting by NPR. The unspent funds raise questions about whether the administration is withholding money approved by lawmakers, a longstanding flashpoint between Congress and the White House over control of federal spending and the executive branch's obligation to implement appropriations.
Why now: The Trump administration's failure to spend congressionally approved funds renews debate over executive impoundment and separation of powers.
