A federal judge in Boston cast doubt on the legality of the Trump administration’s termination of more than $2 billion in federal research funding for Harvard University over alleged institutional failures including antisemitism on campus.

Harvard University urged a federal judge on Monday to order President Donald Trump's administration to restore about $2.5 billion in funding.

The judge did not issue a ruling Monday in the closely watched fight over more than $2 billion in canceled federal research funding. But she said the government’s arguments raised “mind-boggling” questions.
