9:23Now PlayingThe White House said Tuesday it would follow through on plans to partially fund critical food aid during the government shutdown, despite President Donald Trump’s threat just hours earlier that he would withhold the federal assistance.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that she had spoken with Trump and that the administration would be “fully complying” with a court order to keep some Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits flowing.
Trump sparked widespread confusion earlier Tuesday when he appeared to abruptly reverse course on the administration’s funding plan, writing on Truth Social that SNAP “will be given only when those Radical Left Democrats open up the government, which they can easily do, and not before!”
CNN's Brianna Keilar speaks with Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) about SNAP benefits and also the Proposition 50 redistricting initiative, and CNN's Kristen Holmes reports from the White House. #CNN #News
