On Capitol Hill, Trump faced bipartisan complaints as constituents and affected groups flooded lawmakers’ offices with phone calls.

President Donald Trump issued a memo ordering a freezing of federal funds. After lawsuits and a federal judge issuing an injunction, the memo was rescinded.

But the legal battle over the plan that set off panic and confusion across the country is just beginning, and it could become a constitutional clash over control of taxpayer money and expansion of executive power before the Supreme Court.

A federal judge said Wednesday he intends to halt the Trump administration from freezing federal grant funding, despite officials rescinding an initial Office of Management and Budget memo on that effort earlier in the day.
