President Donald Trump raged Sunday night at GOP senators who defended a legal rule preventing the confirmation of his former personal attorney, Alina Habba, as United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey.

Trump directed his anger at Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., both of whom defended the “blue slip” rule, which allows the senators representing the home state of a judicial nominee to block that pick. Senators Cory Booker and Andy Kim of New Jersey used that rule to prevent Habba from being confirmed by the Senate.

Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to rant about both the rule and Grassley.
