A federal judge said Wednesday he plans to grant a group of Democratic attorneys general’s request to block President Trump’s freeze on federal aid, even though the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memo was rescinded amid confusion earlier in the day.
At the end of a 35-minute virtual hearing, U.S. District Judge John McConnell signaled he agreed the OMB’s rescission of its Monday night announcement did not moot the motion filed by 22 states and Washington, D.C.

> The judge, who was appointed by former President Obama, at the start of the hearing signaled the motion may be moot. But ultimately, the states won him over by stressing the White House press secretary’s comments.
