Trump claims criticizing judges should be illegal

Donald Trump stated that it "should be illegal" to criticize judges during a speech at the Department of Justice. This follows his previous comments suggesting that critics of Supreme Court justices should face jail time. His remarks came after his press secretary criticized a judge's ruling against the Trump administration's actions regarding employee firings. The administration has been pushing back against federal judges who have intervened in their decisions. Trump and his allies have repeatedly attacked judges who rule against them, claiming these judges overstep their authority. Republican lawmakers have also introduced impeachment efforts against judges for their rulings against the administration.
