Use of Appropriated Funds for Illegal Lobbying and Partisan Political Activity by Federal Grantees
President Donald Trump issued a memorandum directing the Attorney General to investigate the use of federal grant funds for illegal lobbying and partisan political activities.

The Attorney General, in consultation with other executive departments and agencies, is tasked with determining if such illegal activities are occurring and to take necessary enforcement actions. A report on the investigation's progress is to be submitted to the President within 180 days.
