Leavitt questions judges' motives behind federal employee firings

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has sparked renewed debate over the mass firing of federal employees. Initially, the Trump administration cited poor performance, but Leavitt's recent comments suggest a political motive, claiming judges are undermining the President's agenda. Two federal courts have ordered the reinstatement of fired workers, calling the administration's justification for the dismissals "frivolous." Leavitt criticized the courts, asserting that they should not interfere with presidential authority and vowed to appeal the rulings. Legal experts note that Leavitt's remarks contradict the administration's earlier claims about the firings. Concerns are growing about the administration's respect for judicial decisions and the constitutional separation of powers.
