Fury spurred by Trump's call for 'charges' against judge who ruled against him

Donald Trump escalated his attacks on the federal judiciary this week, calling for a judge who ruled against him to face criminal charges and attacking the judge's wife in the process, prompting condemnation from legal observers and journalists who called the posts the work of "a lunatic."Trump targeted Judge Cooper after a ruling that ordered Trump's name removed from the Kennedy Center, lashing out in a lengthy Truth Social rant that also included a declaration that he now has "no interest" in renovating the historic venue."Trump eventually says Judge Cooper 'should be brought up on charges,'" legal journalist Roger Parloff wrote on X, adding a note of dark humor: "Hopefully Todd Blanche won't scroll down far enough to see it." Parloff noted Trump's stated justification was that the judge's wife had worked as an attorney on cases Trump disapproves of.Independent journalist Aaron Rupar was less measured. "Folks, these are the rantings of a crazy person," he wrote. "Note how Trump resorts to attacking the wives of men he doesn't like. The president is a lunatic."Craig Caplan, a producer for C-SPAN, added important context about the judge Trump was targeting: Cooper was nominated by President Obama and confirmed unanimously by the Senate 100-0 in 2014.Trump's attacks on judges and their families have drawn repeated criticism from legal experts who argue the conduct is designed to intimidate the judiciary and undermine public confidence in the courts. The American Bar Association and several judicial watchdog organizations have previously flagged Trump's attacks on judges as threats to judicial independence.The Kennedy Center dispute is one of several ongoing legal battles in which Trump has publicly attacked presiding judges after unfavorable rulings.Hopefully Todd Blanche won't scroll down far enough to see it, but Trump eventually says Judge Cooper "should be brought up on charges. " (Mainly because his wife worked as an attorney on some cases Trump doesn't approve of.) https://t.co/hDGWramFYt— Roger Parloff (@rparloff) May 30, 2026

Trump furiously demands judge who blocked renovation project be criminally charged

President Donald Trump erupted Saturday in a 720-plus-word social media post over a judge’s ruling ordering him to remove his name from the Kennedy Center and halt a renovation project, a rant that culminated with the president demanding the judge be criminally charged.U.S. District Judge Casey Cooper recently ruled that Trump’s Kennedy Center renovations were unlawful, citing Congress’ authority to rename the iconic performing arts center. In his lengthy social media post, Trump attacked Cooper’s wife – Amy Jeffress, former Justice Department prosecutor under the Clinton administration and former President Joe Biden’s personal attorney – as a “radical left Democrat,” and accused Cooper of having a “conflict of interest” for not "revealing" his wife’s work history.“Amy is totally wired into the Left System, from her husband down, and it is impossible for me to be treated fairly,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “He has a total Conflict of Interest, and should be brought up on charges for not revealing these facts. That is why The Kennedy Center will soon be closed, probably never to open again.”Trump’s outburst follows a similar statement he published on Friday, where he aggressively attacked Cooper as being a judge “appointed by Barack Hussein Obama.”

Three of those had critical injuries."I've got to say, this is one of the most tragic things I've ever seen. Absolutely tragic," said Federal Transit Administration spokesperson Peyton Vogel at the scene.Duffy posted the findings from the investigation to social media."Local police confirm the driver of this motorcoach — a man from China who became a U.S. citizen — doesn't speak English. He received his commercial drivers license from New York State in 2024," Duffy wrote."Unacceptable. This is exactly why we are holding states accountable, enforcing the rules of the road, and cracking down on drivers who can't speak English," he added. "If you can't be properly trained, read our road signs, or communicate with law enforcement, you have no business driving a bus."He also vowed that any company, trainer, or school involved in putting Dong on the road would receive "intense scrutiny" over the incident.RELATED: Security camera shows school bus blow through stop sign and get hit by city bus, 6 people hurt Dong was also injured in the crash."My prayers are with the loved ones of the innocent lives lost and those who were hurt in this horrific crime," Duffy concluded.The investigation into the crash closed traffic on the I-95 south lane for about four hours.Like Blaze News?
