Trump spokeswoman's social media post immediately used against administration in court
(www.rawstory.com)
"This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze. It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo," she wrote. "Why? To end any confusion created by the court's injunction. The President's EO's on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented."
In saying this, however, Leavitt gave an opening for a large coalition of Democratic state attorneys general suing to permanently block the order to tell a federal judge that they needed a restraining order against the administration.
”In court just now, the states are introducing @PressSec tweet saying the funding freeze is still active as evidence that their lawsuit should continue," reported Politico's Kyle Cheney. U.S. Chief District Judge John McConnell granted the states' request, saying the "hugely ambiguous" withdrawal of the OMB memo is irrelevant "based on comments by the president’s press secretary.”
Emphasis mine
I really hope this goes somewhere..
