Tap title to read story
President Trump publicly criticized the Federalist Society, an organization that helped him select judges, citing disappointment with their recommendations. Trump's attacks, fueled by frustration over court rulings against his policies, extend to former Federalist Society leader Leonard Leo, whom he called a 'sleazebag'. This marks a significant break with the organization, which played a crucial role in Trump's first-term judicial appointments. The White House is now reportedly bypassing the Federalist Society in the selection process for his second term, highlighting a growing rift over judicial appointments.
