The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) rescinded a memo Wednesday that had ordered a "temporary pause" on federal funding and unleashed major confusion across the country. Why it matters: It's an astonishing reversal by the Trump administration,

President Donald Trump issued a memo ordering a freezing of federal funds. After lawsuits and a federal judge issuing an injunction, the memo was rescinded.

The order that froze trillions of dollars of federal grants and loans was published without vetting by key officials in the White House.
