Trump rescinds spending freeze on federal assistance

The Trump administration on Wednesday rolled back its sweeping freeze of federal assistance, which roiled Washington and caused widespread confusion, according to a copy of an Office of Management and Budget memo obtained by POLITICO.

The new, two-sentence memo released Wednesday by the Office of Management and Budget rescinds the original memo published by the office two days earlier.
