Trump Administration Rejected by Court in Spending Data Fight
The US appeals court has ordered the Trump administration to resume publicly sharing data on federal spending. The court criticized the government for abruptly refusing to follow a law that mandates transparency in how federal funds are used. The decision is a setback for the Trump administration, which had sought to limit public access to spending information. The court ruled that the administration's actions were "arbitrary and capricious" and violated the requirement for government agencies to provide the public with data on their expenditures. This ruling underscores the importance of government accountability and the public's right to know how their tax dollars are being spent. The decision is seen as a victory for transparency and the rule of law, as the court upheld the principle that the executive branch must comply with legal obligations to disclose financial information.
