The text questions who in Congress allowed Trump to cut funding to Catholic charities.
There is no evidence that Congress specifically allowed Trump to cut funding to Catholic charities. Analysis of available sources indicates Trump's budget proposals did include attempts to reduce federal funding for various sectors, aiming towards increased military spending. However, the Constitution assigns the legislative branch control over federal spending. Therefore, any significant funding changes proposed by the executive branch, including those possibly affecting Catholic charities, would require congressional approval, which was not specifically documented in relation to Catholic charities in the sources found.

Congress allowed Trump to cut funding to Catholic charities.
No specific evidence shows Congress allowed Trump to cut funding to Catholic charities. Available evidence describes general budgetary proposals by Trump to reduce domestic spending, yet legal constraints prevent unilateral cuts without congressional approval. The sources reviewed didn't mention Catholic charities directly. Multiple sources indicate Trump's attempts to alter federal funding, but as Congress controls fiscal allocations, any such changes require their consent, which was not confirmed for this case.
