The Trump administration reportedly withheld millions of dollars in funding designated to help 9/11 first responders, prompting outrage from New York politicians.

The Treasury Department began pocketing the funding, nearly $4 million in total, which was meant to cover medical expenses, almost four years ago, according to a New York Daily News report published a day before the 19th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
