A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration broke the law by taking down a public website that tracked how federal funds are allocated and spent.
The judge ordered the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to immediately restore the database, emphasizing that Americans have a right to know how their taxpayer money is being used. The court rejected the administration's argument that presidential power allowed the removal, calling it 'extravagant and unsupported.' Lawmakers and advocacy groups celebrated the decision as a win for government transparency and accountability.
The ruling reinforces legal requirements for public access to federal spending information.
