CNN: “According to figures compiled by congressional Democrats, which have not been previously reported, the administration has so far withheld $425 billion that Congress had agreed to spend on programs like biomedical research, state and local crime fighting efforts and energy programs.”
“It’s a number that congressional Democrats are likely to point to as they push for guardrails in upcoming talks with GOP leaders, who also voted to approve that spending.”
