Hill -The anonymous senior administration official who wrote a New York Times op-ed critical of President Trump last year claims in a new book that the president repeatedly proposed getting rid of judges, Axios reported Monday.
“The
president has proposed doing away with judges on more than one
occasion,” the anonymous author reportedly wrote, claiming Trump said
too many of his policies were getting stuck in legal limbo.
The
author writes: "‘Can we just get rid of the judges? Let's get rid of
the f---ing judges,’" Trump fumed one morning. "‘There shouldn't be any
at all, really.’"
“He
went a step further and asked his legal team to draft up a bill and
send it to Congress to reduce the number of federal judges,” they
continued in an excerpt published by Axios. “Staff ignored the outburst and the wacky request.”
