White House: Federal monetary assist pause is not going to influence particular person help

"This is not a blanket pause on federal assistance and grant programs."

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, throughout her first press briefing on Tuesday, confronted a barrage of questions on the Trump administration’s freeze on federal monetary help packages that congressional Democrats referred to as unlawful.

Leavitt mentioned particular person help is not going to be impacted.

"Social Security benefits, Medicare benefits, food stamps, welfare benefits, assistance that is going directly to individuals will not be impacted by this pause," she mentioned.
