US EditionTrump administration orders review of federal funding in more than a dozen Democratic states: Report
The Office of Management and Budget ordered federal agencies to report on over a dozen Democratic-led states to address potential improper use of $ billions in federal funds, officials said.
- The Trump administration ordered a review of federal funding to more than a dozen Democratic-led states, with an OMB memo Tuesday directing reports for 13 states and Washington, DC plus a fourteenth state.
- Earlier this month, the US Department of Health and Human Services initiated a review of federal funding after Minnesota fraud allegations, building on last year's escalation.
- The memo requires agencies to report funding data for state governments, localities, institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations covering fiscal years 2025 and 2026 and projected spending for 2027, with federal agencies due Monday.
- Officials say the review will provide options to address waste and expands an ongoing effort, while CNN reported the White House recently pushed the FBI to investigate Minnesota campaigns and courts repeatedly blocked funding cutoffs.
- The memo signals options to counter sanctuary-city policies, with President Donald Trump vowing to stop payments starting February 1, to jurisdictions that voted for Kamala Harris in 2024.
