The judge did not issue a ruling Monday in the closely watched fight over more than $2 billion in canceled federal research funding. But she said the government’s arguments raised “mind-boggling” questions.
Lawyers for Harvard University appeared in a Boston court on Monday as they challenge the Trump administration's attempt to freeze billions of dollars in federal grants for the school. CBS News legal reporter Katrina Kaufman has the details.
The same day Harvard rejected the government’s demands, Trump officials moved to freeze $2.2 billion in research grants. Education Secretary Linda McMahon declared in May that Harvard would no longer be eligible for new grants, and weeks later the administration began canceling contracts with Harvard.
