BALTIMORE (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday threw out the Trump administration’s lawsuit against Maryland’s entire federal bench in a ruling that underscored the extraordinary nature of the suit, slamming it as “potentially calamitous."
U.S. District Judge Thomas Cullen, who was nominated by President Donald Trump, also criticized the administration's attacks on the judiciary, saying in a footnote that White House officials in recent months had described judges as “rogue,” “unhinged” and “crooked,” among other epithets.
