Congress authorizes expenditures, but it is and always has been (since the
Constitution was enacted) the executive branch that actually performs the
action of spending almost all the money the federal government spends.
(Congress and the judicial branch directly spend a little bit, but not
nearly as much.)  There have been many lawsuits claiming that the current
administration has attempted to spend, or actually spend, money outside of
what Congress authorized, generally at the direct or indurect request of
POTUS, and so far as I am aware, the courts have more often than not said
these allegations were correct based on the evidence provided.  Most
neutral third party assessments that I am aware of agree with those courts'
conclusions, based on the evidence available.

Or, in short: the evidence shows that POTUS has been spending taxpayer
dollars.
