The government accountability office has found that the trump administration violated impoundment law by canceling national institutes of health grants and slowing new awards. However, there is some uncertainty as to who is responsible for the violation, with some reports stating the trump administration was at fault, while others suggest the national institutes of health itself broke the law by withholding congress-approved funding. The situation involves the withholding of funds for medical research grants, with the extent of the impact and the parties involved still unclear.
