Trump Administration Broke Law by Withholding Head Start Funds The Trump administration has been found to have violated federal law by withholding congressionally appropriated funding for the Head Start program. This decision has significant implications for early childhood development programs and the low-income children they serve. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) made this determination after analyzing publicly available evidence, as the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) failed to provide requested information.
