President Trump’s order that federal agencies pause the disbursement of loans and grants is sending shockwaves through Washington.
A memo issued by Matthew Vaeth, acting director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), directs federal agencies to temporarily pause “all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance” while the government conducts a review to ensure spending aligns with Trump’s agenda.
Also on Tuesday, House Republicans are still holding their annual policy retreat in Florida, and Vice President Vance is expected to address the conference. The Hill’s Emily Brooks will also host an interview with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) at 5:30 p.m.
And Florida will hold special primary elections for the 1st and 6th Districts.
