Top advisors suggesting Trump ignore court orders

 Washington Post -- Federal judges have issued President Donald Trump stinging legal rebukes in the early clashes over his blitz of executive orders, and two of his top advisers have responded by suggesting that his administration defy the courts and move forward with its agenda.

There’s no indication that Trump has adopted such a strategy, although a U.S. judge in Rhode Island ruled Monday that the administration has been violating a court order to disburse billions of dollars in already-approved grant funding and hinted at possible penalties.

But the combative rhetoric by Vice President JD Vance and top adviser Elon Musk has troubled legal experts, who said there is no modern precedent for a president to ignore or defy court orders.
