US District Court Judge Paul Engelmayer’s decided on Saturday to bar all Trump administration political appointees, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, from accessing critical Treasury Department data.
Following this decision, which was rendered ex parte and did not allow for any counterargument by any Trump official or member of the White House legal team, Engelmayer went on to extend his order to include several other areas of government.
"It is the order of this court that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is hereby banned from accessing any records, computer systems, data or paperwork related to the nation's military, and further, that he is to be banned from entering any armed forces base or the Pentagon."
"Furthermore," his order read, "US Attorney General Pam Bondi is enjoined from accessing any data, computer systems, records, or paperwork in the Department of Justice, and is ordered to recuse herself from any investigation or case the Department is engaged in. Moreover, the court directs Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and any of her subordinates to desist accessing any records, data, paperwork or computer systems related to national security in the Department of Homeland Security."
"Finally," Engelmayer's order read, "This court finds it necessary to order that President Trump or any of his assigns, be denied the right to view, possess, transmit or receive any document, record, or data pertaining to any operation of the Executive Branch."
Liberal members of the House and Senate applauded the courageous actions of Judge Engelmayer. Rep. Maxine Waters reacted positively, saying, "Dats not enough. We's gots to IMPEECH FOWTY SEVEN!"
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Appointed by Barack Obama.
I’m just sayin’……
“So if the Treasury Sec does not sign the checks nothing goes out. No one gets paid. Let’s see how long THAT lasts.”
THIS!!!!!!!!
And he did this on a Saturday, too. Sounds like they’re buying time in order to destroy evidence.
Nice...
Why don’t the judges just start ordering executions? They seem to have already thrown out all that due process stuff when it comes to Republicans anyway.
Ya got us, Laz, but good!
WELL PLAYED!
“It is the order of this court that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is hereby banned from accessing any records, computer systems, data or paperwork related to the nation’s military, and further, that he is to be banned from entering any armed forces base or the Pentagon.”
ROTLMAO!!!
FO...
WOW judges are more powerful than the US government even the President ,LOL
Well, President Trump can order Musk and his crew to carry on and issue a pre-emptive pardon for any felonies they might commit, and he can pardon himself. And while he is at it, Trump can tell the judge that if he wants Musk to stop, he can try to physically stop him, but he has to get through the U.S. Marine guards first. And Judge - Trump should tell you to FOAD.
No, you love him...
... And so do we.
The judge needs to be ignored.
How about separation of powers.
Why is someone in the judiciary telling the executive how to do its business?
Dont let it go to his head!
But yes :)
Has this stooge given any explanation to anybody why he doesn’t want America to be great again and wants the politicians to raid the wallets of working U.S. families.
I think it is time for the US Supreme Court to discipline some lower court judges in an emergency session of the Supreme Court.
I understand that a New York City municipal traffic court judge has overturned the 2024 election and that Biden will be returning to the White House.
Is today April 1st?
