The constitutional battle at the center of Trump's funding freeze: From the Politics Desk

^{Published on 2025-01-28 19:00:40 - MSN}

President Donald Trump's effort to freeze federal aid spending has sparked a constitutional battle that could end up before the Supreme Court.

The article from MSN discusses a significant constitutional battle involving former President Donald Trump's attempt to freeze funding for Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigations into his actions surrounding the 2020 election and the handling of classified documents. Trump's legal team has argued that the funding for Smith's office, which comes from the Department of Justice's budget, is unconstitutional because it bypasses Congressional appropriation processes. This argument hinges on the Appointments Clause and the Appropriations Clause of the U.S. Constitution, suggesting that Smith's appointment and funding mechanism are not in line with constitutional requirements. Critics, including legal experts, argue that this move is an attempt to delay or derail the investigations. The contention is part of a broader legal strategy by Trump to challenge the legitimacy of the investigations against him, potentially impacting how special counsels are funded and appointed in the future.
