The high court, by a 5-4 vote, turned down an appeal from President Trump's lawyers on Wednesday on the disbursement of nearly $2 billion in foreign funds.

The move came after Chief Justice Roberts temporarily paused a trial judge’s order requiring the administration to release more than $1.5 billion.

A pair of rulings have exposed deep divisions on the Supreme Court about just how much power the federal judiciary has to stop President Donald Trump – and could have enormous implications for the flood of litigation challenging Trump’s actions.
