Trump's alarming escalation in rhetoric against the judiciary - Velshi - MSNBC
Donald Trump’s war on the judiciary and the rule of law is no longer theoretical, following the FBI’s arrest of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan—an alarming new escalation in his assault on the judicial branch.
From pardoning Jan. 6 rioters to threatening federal judges, and now the arrest of a sitting jurist, the Trump administration has made clear it sees the independent judiciary not as a coequal branch, but as an adversary to be subdued. Congressional Republicans are aiding this effort by pushing legislation designed to strip the courts of key powers. The message to legal professionals nationwide is clear: toe the line—or become a target. - Aired on 05/25/2025.
