HAPPENING NOW: Fed judge who ordered unfreezing of #USAID contract spending is voicing frustration as #Trump admin lawyer repeatedly refuses to say whether they have actually taken any steps to implement his 12-day-old order.
Judge: "I don’t know why I can’t get a straight answer from you. Are you aware of an unfreezing of the disbursement of funds for those contracts and agreements that were frozen before Feb. 13?"
DOJ lawyer: "I’m not in a position to answer that."
