Trump attorney General Pam Bondi attacked judges in cases against President Donald Trump, telling Fox News host Laura Ingraham they “need to be removed.”
Trump’s agenda has been stifled by dozens of adverse rulings, including a blizzard of injunctions and lawsuits.
In an interview that aired on Wednesday night’s edition of Fox News Channel’s The Ingraham Angle, the host asked Bondi about two of the cases — one involving Judge Beryl Howell and the Signalgate case that Judge James Boasberg has been selected to preside over — and Bondi attacked several judges by name:
INGRAHAM: Judge Beryl Howell is an Obama appointed district judge, I believe, in the district of D.C. — District of Columbia, and is extremely upset at what — what he thinks is a series of attacks by the DOJ on the judiciary, saying, when the DOJ engages in this rhetorical strategy of ad hominem attack, the stakes become much larger than only the reputation of the targeted federal judge. This strategy is designed to impugn the integrity of the federal judicial system.I guess the DOJ lawyers wanted to remove Judge Howell from the case, citing other — what they believed were bias comments.Your reaction to Judge Howell tonight?BONDI: We do. Many judges need to be removed, Judge Howell included. Judge Reyes, Judge Boasberg — these judges obviously cannot be impartial. They cannot be objective.They are district judges trying to control our entire country — our entire country,
and they’re trying to obstruct Donald Trump’s agenda.INGRAHAM: And Judge Boasberg is a busy judge. He was assigned to the Signal-gate, which is such a ridiculous name but the Signal chat case, which is a lawsuit filed by parties which I’m not sure they have standing to file.But President Trump calls it disgraceful that this judge — again, who’s ruled against you on the Tren de Aragua deportations –BONDI: Yes.INGRAHAM: — is now assigned to the Signal case.BONDI: Yes.INGRAHAM: Your reaction tonight to that?BONDI: Laura, he has multiple cases. I guess it’s a wild coincidence against Donald Trump and our administration, and — and now he has the Signal case. He shouldn’t be on any of these cases. He cannot be objective. He’s made that crystal clear.You know, these judges are taking personal attacks to it, at many of the cabinet secretaries. And these judges across the country — and again, they think they have authority, but it’s going to be short-lived because these cases are going to get to the Supreme Court very fast. We’re doing everything we can.
