Boom! Lawyered

Trump’s Attacks on Law Firms, Lawyers, and the Law


Listen Later

President Donald Trump famously has a… strained relationship with the law, to say the least. His first term saw numerous legal challenges to attempted policies—not to mention his two impeachments. 

Now, barely two months into his second term, Trump is already facing more than 100 lawsuits over his attacks on birthright citizenship, gutting of the federal workforce, and more. In this episode, Jess and Imani dive into the Trump administration’s attacks on the law, from targeting law firms to straight up ignoring court orders. 

And psst—Washington, D.C. listeners, don’t miss seeing Jess and Imani live with Feminist Buzzills’ Lizz Winstead and Moji Alawode-El! They’ll be taking the stage at the Black Cat on April 3 at 8 p.m. (doors open at 7 p.m.). Get tickets here.
