A White House spokesperson Wednesday said the federal funding freeze announced earlier this week by President Donald Trump’s Office of Management and Budget remains in effect despite media reports it had been rescinded.

"This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze. It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo. Why? To end any confusion created by the court's injunction. The President's EO's [executive orders] on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented," Leavitt posted on X.

Earlier, various news outlets reported the funding freeze had been rescinded.

A White House official announced the decision to pull back a proposed spending freeze that threatened to disrupt hundreds of billions of dollars in aid to U.S. programs, Reuters reported.

The decision was announced in a copy of a new memo, obtained by The Washington Post, after the administration's move earlier his week to stop spending resulted in a backlash.

Acting OMB acting Director Matthew J. Vaeth used the memo to tell federal agencies that the department's memorandum M-25-13 "is rescinded," the Post reported.

In a memo Monday, Vaeth said funding for federal grants and loans would be put on hold while the Trump administration reviews them to ensure the recipients are aligned with Trump’s priorities, including executive orders he signed last week ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

OMB oversees the federal budget.

The first major domestic policy reversal of the Republican president's new term came after one federal judge had temporarily blocked the freeze and before another judge was due to hear a separate legal challenge. The proposal had thrown the federal government into chaos and disrupted payments to medical and child-care providers.

Democrat critics of the order moved swiftly to celebrate the reported action.

"This is an important victory for the American people whose voices were heard after massive pressure from every corner of this country—real people made a difference by speaking out," said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.

"Still, the Trump administration—through a combination of sheer incompetence, cruel intentions, and a willful disregard of the law—caused real harm and chaos for millions over the span of the last 48 hours which is still ongoing."
