Chief Justice John Roberts helped President Donald Trump’s administration avoid paying nearly $2 billion in congressionally appropriated foreign aid funds — for now.

Chief Justice John Roberts on Wednesday paused a court-imposed midnight deadline that would have required the Trump administration to release $2 billion in frozen foreign aid, a goal that the government has claimed it is unable to meet.

Agencies living off American foreign aid that went to court to kick loose taxpayer dollars are going to have to wait a little longer to get their hands on about $2 billion in federal funding that a federal judge said had to be paid by Wednesday.
