Judge Rules Trump Admin Complies on Gateway Tunnel Funds

A federal judge rules the Trump administration complies with a court order to release over $200 million in funding for the bloated $16 billion Gateway Tunnel rail project between New York and New Jersey. The Second Circuit appeals court declines to overrule the lower court's decision, allowing funds to flow temporarily after DOT withheld them since last fall for a rightful review of contracts with minority- and women-owned businesses under new federal rules.
