The Supreme Court on Friday extended an order that allows President Trump’s administration to keep frozen nearly $5 billion in foreign aid, handing him another victory in a dispute over presidential power. With the three justices appointed by Democrats in dissent, the court majority granted the GOP administration’s emergency appeal in a case involving billions of dollars in congressionally approved aid, the AP reports. Trump said last month that he would not spend the money, invoking disputed authority that was last used by a president roughly 50 years ago.
