WASHINGTON — The Trump White House’s budget office is tightening a rule for the distribution of up to $1 trillion in federal grant-making authority, ensuring taxpayer dollars are better protected from use by non-citizens and speeding up the process by which wasteful spending can be canceled. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will propose the fixes to address “significant flaws” in the grants, at least 190,000 of which date from former President Joe Biden’s final year in office, officials told The Post Thursday. One official said that the expected changes will have the greatest effect on the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees roughly $85 billion in grant spending annually, and the Department of Transportation, which handles roughly $45 billion per year.
