The White House asked the Supreme Court to approve the administration’s pause on congressionally appropriated foreign aid, aiming to bring a conclusion to a legal saga that has stretched since the first months of President Donald Trump‘s second term.
On Aug. 13, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia voted 2-1 to overturn a lower court’s order requiring the administration to pay out the funds, which were frozen earlier this year. Trump’s Department of Justice filed a motion on Tuesday seeking final clarity in the legal battle, asking the Supreme Court to clear up the executive branch’s jurisdiction over foreign aid.
