Trump scolds ‘sleazebag’ pundits for speculating why he thanked Justice Roberts following address to Congress
Fox News
President Trump blasted MSNBC and CNN on Thursday for speculating why he thanked Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts without bothering to pick up the phone and ask.
The Supreme Court ruled in July 2024 that former presidents have substantial protection from prosecution after Trump moved to dismiss his indictment in a 2020 election interference case based on presidential immunity, and many liberal pundits insisted the president was thanking Justice Roberts more than seven months later. But it wasn’t the first time Trump and Roberts have seen each other in person, as the Chief Justice administrated the presidential oath of office on Inauguration Day. Many liberal pundits assumed Trump was thanking Justice Roberts for the former. Brian Flood is a media editor/reporter for FOX News Digital.
