White House revokes spending freeze amid legal setbacks
The Philippine Star

In a whip-saw reversal to a policy unveiled with little explanation late on Monday, the White House budget office told federal agencies it was rescinding a memo that had ordered the pause in grant and loan payments.
The new order came shortly before a federal court hearing on a lawsuit filed by Democratic state attorneys general trying to stop the freeze. A White House official said the reversal was an attempt to short-circuit legal challenges.
