The Trump administration has not fully complied with a court order pausing the freezing of foreign assistance grants and contracts, a federal judge ruled Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Amir Ali last week ordered the administration to allow the disbursement of U.S. foreign assistance after hearing claims from federal contractors challenging an executive order signed by President Donald Trump pausing nearly all foreign assistance.
That may not be the case. I have read that the President’s pardon abilities only cover criminal offenses, and contempt of court that stems from ignoring a ruling is considered a civil offense.
