Collins condemns Trump's cancellation of congressionally approved spending
Original: Sen. Susan Collins condemns “illegal actions” as Pres. Trump cancels spending approved by Congress
Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine has condemned what she called "illegal actions" after President Trump moved to cancel spending that had already been approved by Congress. The clash highlights a rare public break between congressional Republicans and the White House over presidential power to withhold funds appropriated by lawmakers.
Why now: A senior Republican senator publicly accusing a president of her own party of illegal action over impounded funds is an unusual and consequential political fight.
