The federal government on Aug. 29 withdrew an emergency request at the Supreme Court to give it control over billions of dollars in foreign aid after an appeals court cleared the way for the government to withhold the funding.
The case goes back to Jan. 20, when President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14169 to freeze foreign aid spending for 90 days. Grant recipients and associations sued to free up the government funds, arguing that the president violated the federal Administrative Procedure Act and the Constitution.
