Federal Judges Just Stopped Two Major Trump Plans - Adam Kinzinger [View all]
Two federal judges just delivered major setbacks to the Trump administration, raising new questions about how far the White House is willing to go and whether the courts remain the last line of defense.
A federal judge in Minnesota threw out DOJ subpoenas targeting Democratic officials, calling the effort a "blatantly unlawful and unethical" misuse of the grand jury process. Meanwhile, another judge struck down the administration's voter database overhaul after finding that millions of Americans had their personal information repurposed in ways that threatened voting rights and privacy protections.
Adam Kinzinger breaks down both rulings, why they matter, and what they reveal about the administration's approach to political opponents, elections, and executive power.
