A federal judge heard in court on Monday arguments for why she should side with Harvard University or the Trump administration over cuts to federal funding. Here's what happened.

Harvard University appeared in federal court Monday in a pivotal case in its battle with the Trump administration, as the storied institution argued the government illegally cut $2.6 billion in federal funding.

The same day Harvard rejected the demands, Trump officials moved to freeze $2.2 billion in research grants. Education Secretary Linda McMahon declared in May that Harvard would no longer be eligible for new grants, and weeks later the administration began canceling contracts with Harvard.

Judging by the allegations in a lawsuit filed against Harvard College by a former MBA student at Harvard Business School, the university deserves all the angst and harassment it is getting from the Trump Administration.

The Trump administration’s legal case for cutting nearly $3 billion in federal aid to Harvard University was met with skepticism.

Attorneys for Harvard asked a federal judge Monday to prevent the Trump administration from withholding federal funds from the school.
