Federal judges have almost no ability under the law to refuse a government request to drop criminal charges. The corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams of New York may be the exception.On Thursday, Manhattan’s top federal prosecutor, Danielle R. Sassoon, resigned rather than obey an order to seek dismissal of the charges against the mayor. The directive was issued by Emil Bove III, the acting No. 2 official in President Trump’s Justice Department and his former criminal lawyer.Mr. Bove wrote that the demand had nothing to do with the strength of the evidence against the mayor or legal theories in...

The opening sentence of Article II of the U.S. Constitution is straightforward and grants one person, the president, broad powers: “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.” Nineteen rebellious states are now attempting to usurp that executive power, which the Constitution vests solely in the president. This case, which seeks to wrest control of the Department of the Treasury away from President Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, is part of the ongoing campaign of lawfare by which the Democrats seek to frustrate the will of a majority of voters and states,...

Denver Public Schools has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over a policy allowing ICE immigration agents to enter schools. The federal lawsuit claims that the policy has caused attendance to plummet due to the amount of illegal aliens in the district. “DPS is hindered in fulfilling its mission of providing education and life services to the students who are refraining from attending DPS schools for fear of immigration enforcement actions occurring on DPS school grounds,” the lawsuit states, according to a report from ABC News. “Parents across Denver enroll their...

Bill O’Reilly made a stunning prediction Wednesday night on NewsNation’s Cuomo: Donald Trump is going to destroy NY Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. And Trump may just have an unlikely ally to make that goal a reality. O’Reilly claimed that New York Mayor Adams “knows where the bodies are buried” when it comes to James and Bragg, the two figures who aggressively pursued Trump in court. What he means by this is Adams may hold damaging information that could help Trump turn the tables on the prosecutors who have relentlessly targeted him. “I’m going to predict...

Legal scholar Jonathan Turley has asserted that he’s been left stunned by efforts from leftist judges to undermine President Donald Trump’s executive authority. Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School, said he’s “baffled” over courts “intruding significantly” on Trump’s agenda. The constitutional expert was left bewildered after a federal judge extended a temporary restraining order on Monday to block the Trump administration’s buyout offer to federal employees. On Tuesday, Turley told “Fox & Friends” that the offer is “perfectly within the wheelhouse of the president.” “I think that Trump is on very solid ground with the buyout,” Turley...

(American Political Report)—A legal expert expressed confusion and concern over recent judicial actions that he believes significantly encroach upon the authority of President Donald Trump. Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, speaking on “Hannity,” highlighted what he sees as an unusual level of judicial interference. Dershowitz argued that the courts are stepping into areas traditionally reserved for executive decision-making, particularly in matters related to Trump’s actions while in office. “The courts are intruding significantly into the core areas of presidential authority,” Dershowitz stated. He was particularly critical of judicial decisions that he believes set a dangerous precedent by undermining the separation...

Lawfare hasn’t stopped since Donald Trump became president again, but has been repackaged into civil litigation to stop his second term agenda—and most of the civil lawfare can be traced to groups affiliated with a coalition known as Civil Service Strong. Members of the coalition scored federal court wins in recent days to temporarily block Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship, to delay a federal employee buyout, and to halt the shuttering of the U.S. Agency for International Development. The member groups have also been involved in numerous other lawsuits against the Trump administration, including challenging the Schedule F executive...

A New York judge on Tuesday found former President Trump liable for fraud, handing a major legal victory to New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) in her sprawling civil case over Trump’s businesses. New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron granted James’s request to find Trump liable for the first of seven causes of action she has accused him of in the lawsuit. Engoron simultaneously denied Trump’s demand to toss the entire suit without trying the case.
