NBC News reported that the White House on Wednesday officially canceled a controversial note, which ordered the freezing of grants and federal loans.
The freezing, which was scheduled to enter into force late on Tuesday afternoon, was stopped by a federal judge to give them time to consider the arguments that challenge their legitimacy.
The memorandum, which is ordered to freeze, was issued by the Management and Budget Office.
“The OMB M-25-13 memorandum has been canceled. If you have any questions about the implementation of the president’s executive orders, please contact the general consultant in your agency.”
NBC News obtained the new VATH note from Avenue. A senior administration official confirmed to NBC that the original OMB memo is canceled, and he said that the additional guidance will come.
CNBC requested a comment from OMB.
