President Donald Trump‘s administration sought to tamp down confusion over Medicaid funding in the wake of Office of Management and Budget director Matthew Vaeth’s memorandum pausing federal grant funding.

A funding freeze ordered by the Trump administration has sparked widespread confusion about its effects on government programs such as Medicaid.

A late-night memo announcing a freeze on federal grants—and subsequent failures by the Trump White House to clarify the details of the funding pause—plunged the country into chaos on Tuesday, with reports of Medicaid portals getting abruptly shut down amid the widespread confusion.

Democrats declared victory for blunting Trump’s momentum while the White House insisted it isn’t backing down.

The White House claiming the Wednesday move by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) rescinding a controversial order that froze a wide swath of federal financial assistance is not actually an end to curbing government spending.
