White House Internal Security Adviser, Stephen Miller, closed centuries with CNN Jake Taber on Tuesday, on Tuesday, on the pretext that liberal news organizations have offended the representation of the Trump administration for some federal funds.
the The administration and budget office issued a note On Monday, all scholarships and federal loans that are not inconsistent with the president's executive orders to eliminate “sadness” and “government weapons” stopped.
However, a White House official said Fox News digital The memo was initially “bad reporting” and no funding for federal financial assistance in all fields was not constituted.
Tapper pressed Miller to respond to the uncertainty surrounding the guidance, and asked whether Medicaid and meals will be affected on the wheels, although both have been confirmed that they are exempt early in the day.
Miller argued that any confusion about the memo “was created by the media,” and said, “OMB, if you read it, be clear like a day.”
He stressed that the freezing does not apply to the entitlements or other services that the government must provide, saying: “It does not affect any service for citizens, and does not affect any individual benefit, any program for public assistance, or anything of that.”
“I cannot help her if the left media published a fake news story that caused confusion,” Miller said.
“I don't know what you are talking about,” Taber said, referring to the Republicans who also confessed to confusion about the memo.
TAPPER said that the matter is “very wide and written in a confusing way” and it cannot be blaming the confusion about it on “liberal media.”
“A false story has been presented to which people responded,” Miller said.

“I don't know what you are talking about in terms of wrong reports. It is a widely written executive,” Tabbar argued.
“You confuse two different things,” Miller said that after Trump's executive orders last week, left -wing civil service staff were trying to finance “pet projects” with estimated grants, so OMB directions were written to prevent this.
“The payments that we had to stop during the past few days will not believe with the bureaucrats who are trying to transfer money from the door,” he said that these projects need to undergo a political review process that taxpayers should bear.
