California officials have reached an agreement with the Trump administration that prevents it from awarding $4 billion in revoked grants to other projects while a court case plays out.
What happened: The Federal Railroad Administration agreed to keep the money in reserve while California litigates the administration’s revocation of the money, California officials said Thursday.
“This agreement ensures that the funding will remain available until the legal process is resolved,” state Senate Transportation Chair Dave Cortese (D) said in a statement.

A spokesperson for the California High-Speed Rail Authority confirmed the agreement but declined to comment further, saying the agency doesn’t comment on pending litigation.
