But Congress, not the POTUS or DOJ, has the power of the purse. So this should have gone to a general fund that Congress oversees to distribute grants.
Well, it should have been a fund established by Congress, but the administration of the grant program would likely be taken care of by the executive branch. Leave it in the hands of Congress and they will outsource that work to lobbyists like they do everything else.
