72% Informative

Donald Trump and his Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought plan to impound some of the funds Congress allocates before the government shutdown deadline on Friday .

The move would violate the 1974 Impoundment Control Act , which prevents the president from spending money appropriated by Congress in a different way.

Vought was one of the authors of the conservative Project 2025 manifesto, which seeks to completely remake the federal government to serve right-wing interests.
