Their new stipulations submitted to federal court all but prove that. The Trump Admin's court filing argued that federal agencies " did not terminate any grants based on alleged noncompliance with the terms of the grant." In that filing, the Trump White House admitted to using keywords related to diversity, gender, vaccine hesitancy, and COVID-19 to screen projects, ultimately gutting any that didn't align with Donald Trump's platform and priorities. Attorneys for the researchers are now asking the judge presiding over their class-action case to skip a trial altogether and formally rule that the Trump White House repeatedly violated the US Constitution, particularly the First Amendment rights of the researchers. A court hearing to determine whether the judge will do so is slated for October 20th.
