Trump's inner circle criticized for challenging federal judge

Donald Trump's recent decision to challenge a federal judge's authority has drawn criticism from a well-known conservative lawyer. John Yoo, a professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley, voiced his concerns about the administration's actions against U.S. District Judge James Boasberg. Yoo said some members of Trump's inner circle may be looking for a confrontation with the court. He believes this approach is harmful to the president and the administration's goals. Yoo emphasized that defying a judicial order could have serious consequences. Retired Judge J. Michael Luttig also warned in an opinion piece that continued conflicts with the judiciary could lead to problems for Trump. Yoo echoed this sentiment during an appearance on Fox News, stating that a functioning legal system is vital for the country. He cautioned that if courts cannot make reliable decisions, it undermines the entire legal system, which could pose a significant risk to the nation.
