Overview
- Wolf’s new POLITICO interview details his claim that President Trump has won 17 of 20 cases on the Supreme Court’s emergency docket, which he says raises impartiality concerns.
- Wolf’s move follows a year of public rebukes of Trump by fellow Reagan-appointed judges John Coughenour, Royce Lamberth, and William Young in opinions and courtroom statements.
- He cites reports about former border adviser Tom Homan and urges release of evidence from a closed probe, while a White House spokesperson calls his comments hyper-partisan and says investigators found no credible wrongdoing; Homan denies taking money.
- An analysis by Stanford’s Adam Bonica, reported in the coverage, found lower courts ruled against Trump in 82 of 87 cases between May and June as the Supreme Court ruled for the administration in 15 of 16.
- Wolf warns that attacks on judges and calls for impeachments after adverse rulings threaten the rule of law unless the judiciary receives stronger institutional support.
