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 criticized the administration's attempt to justify the removal with an 'extravagant and unsupported theory of presidential power.' Lawmakers and transparency advocates celebrated the decision as a victory for government accountability.
The ruling reinforces the legal requirement for transparency in federal spending.
