Judge Blocks Trump's Attempt to Trade Rail Funds for Names

Judge Jeannette Vargas ordered Donald Trump to unfreeze $16 billion for the Gateway tunnel project after the administration allegedly used the funds to pressure Chuck Schumer.The lawsuit filed by Letitia James argued that the funding freeze for the New York and New Jersey rail link would cause irreparable economic harm and result in 1,000 layoffs.Donald Trump reportedly offered to release the money if Chuck Schumer agreed to rename Penn Station and Dulles International Airport in his honor, a demand the senator rejected.
