Conservative Legal Icon Says This New Donald Trump Move Is '1 Of The Most Sinister'
HuffPost
Former federal Judge J. Michael Luttig ripped Trump's "full-frontal assault on the Constitution, the rule of law, our system of justice and the entire legal profession."
Conservative former federal Judge J. Michael Luttig issued a stark warning on Thursday about what he described as President Donald Trump’s escalating attacks on the legal system.
Speaking to MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace, Luttig condemned Trump’s efforts to intimidate judges, lawyers and law firms.
Luttig specifically pointed to Trump’s executive orders targeting legal outfits Perkins Coie, over its links to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign against Trump, and Covington & Burling, for its work with special counsel Jack Smith, who investigated Trump.
The order against Perkins Coie has since been temporarily blocked.
Trump had effectively “declared war on the rule of law” even before returning to the White House and has since only upped his attacks on multiple fronts nationwide, said Luttig.
