Fox News
President Donald Trump and Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought are looking at a strategy to impound federal funds, Fox News Digital is told.
Trump and his allies have made no secret of their belief that the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 is unconstitutionally constraining the powers of the president. But the new development is a significant step toward a likely legal showdown as Democrats warn they will respond if Trump tries to bypass Congress on federal spending.
