The White House's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) rescinded a federal funding freeze memo that caused confusion and chaos after a judge paused its implementation. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated the move eliminates ambiguity stemming from court action and misleading media narratives, allowing the government to concentrate on enforcing spending controls. While the freeze would have paused various grants, it did not affect direct assistance programs such as Medicare. This rescission seemingly concludes a legal dispute, although OMB plans to issue more executive orders to curb federal expenditure.
"In light of the injunction, OMB has rescinded the memo to end any confusion on federal policy created by the court ruling and the dishonest media coverage."
