White House says Trump funding freeze remains in effect despite rescinding OMB memo

The White House on Wednesday said a “federal funding freeze” remains in “full force and effect” despite it rescinding a controversial memo ordering that freeze on grants and loans to give agencies time to review programs for their compliance with President Donald Trump’s agenda.

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a tweet, “This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze. “It is simply a recission of the [Office of Management and Budget] memo,” Leavitt said.

So…it is or it isn’t?
