Trump administration puts on hold $18 billion in funding for New York City infrastructure projects
The White House budget director, Russ Vought, said on a post on X that the step was taken due to the Republican administration’s belief the money was based on unconstitutional diversity, equity and inclusion principles.
The suspension of funds is likely meant to target Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York, whom the White House is blaming for the shutdown.
Sounds like a great lawsuit — since the funds were already approved and appropriated by congress. This kind of rug pulling mid-project needs to be nipped in the bud.
