Pelosi warns Mnuchin to stop 'illegal' $4.3B cut to foreign aid
The Hll-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) warned that proposed cuts to foreign aid already
appropriated by Congress could put a budget deal with the White House in
jeopardy in a Sunday letter to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. “I
request that you work within the Administration to stop this proposed
rescission, which GAO [Government Accountability Office] states is
illegal, which violates the good faith of our budget negotiations, which
important Republicans say is ill-advised, and which overrides Congress’
most fundamental Constitutional power,” Pelosi wrote in the letter to
Mnuchin.
