Judge rules that Trump CANNOT hold Gateway Tunnel funds hostage in exchange for his Dulles "renaming" demand

President Donald Trump received a blow in court on Friday evening as a judge ruled he cannot freeze federal funds for the Gateway Tunnel, a massively important $16 billion infrastructure project that adds new train capacity underneath the Hudson River connecting New York and New Jersey.

According to NBC News, "Construction on the project was expected to end Friday night without court intervention. Judge Jeannette Vargas has also asked for both parties to submit additional information on the issue within the next few days."

The ruling is only temporary, but it gives the project a reprieve from shutting down for now.
