  • A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked the White House from enacting a sweeping pause on federal grants and loans as President Donald Trump looks to ensure all federal spending aligns with his recently signed executive orders.

A federal judge in Maryland has temporarily blocked former President Donald Trump's attempt to pause federal grants and loans, which was part of his broader initiative to reduce federal spending.
