  • Trump and his allies are continuing to question judicial oversight of the executive branch, ramping up criticism of judges who've put some of his agenda on pause.

The article from ABC News discusses how former President Donald Trump and his allies are intensifying their criticisms of the judicial system as Trump faces multiple legal challenges. Trump has been vocal about his belief that the courts are being weaponized against him, particularly in relation to his recent indictments. His allies, including key figures in conservative media and politics, are echoing these sentiments, attacking not only the prosecutors but also the judges involved in his cases. This includes personal attacks on judges' integrity and accusations of bias. The rhetoric has escalated to the point where there are concerns about the potential for violence or threats against judicial figures, reminiscent of the January 6 Capitol riot. Legal experts and observers warn that such attacks undermine public trust in the judiciary and could have long-term implications for the rule of law. Meanwhile, Trump's legal team is attempting to delay trials, arguing that the timing of the cases is politically motivated to interfere with the 2024 election.
