Egotistical maniac demands made//

A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from suspending billions of dollars of funding for a rail tunnel under the Hudson River, pending future arguments in the case.

Construction of the new $16 billion rail tunnel, the biggest transportation infrastructure project in the United States, had come to a halt earlier in the day, four months after the Trump administration suspended its federal funding.

Top administration officials have told Mr. Schumer in recent weeks that the money would be released if he agreed to help name the facilities in Mr. Trump’s honor
, according to four people familiar with the private conversations. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to reveal the private discussions.

His administration has sought to pressure Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, to help name New York’s Penn Station and Washington Dulles International Airport after Mr. Trump in exchange for releasing the frozen Gateway funding.
