Bret Baier and other Fox News anchors discussed the ongoing confusion surrounding President Trump's federal funding freeze order, specifically after a federal judge blocked its implementation. The Office of Management and Budget rescinded a previous memo that announced a pause in federal aid funding, but White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified that this does not indicate a cancellation of the freeze itself. Baier expressed that the administration's communication could be clearer to avoid public misunderstanding, emphasizing that the executive orders targeting DEI funding will still be enforced despite the legal confusion.
Baier argued: Here's how I digest that and this is just my interpretation. The executive orders going after DEI and that funding, that specifically he has a problem with, is still in place, meaning they will scour all of these funds, and if anything deals with that it will be stopped.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later took to X and claimed nothing was actually rescinded. This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze, she wrote. It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo.
