During a White House briefing, Peter Doocy questioned Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on why President Trump hasn't sought new Congressional laws to counter unfavorable court rulings. The Trump administration has faced multiple legal setbacks, including a recent court ruling declaring Trump's tariffs unlawful for circumventing Congressional power. Leavitt defended the president's legal authority as granted by existing laws and implied that judges shouldn't interfere with executive powers. A recent appeals court ruling temporarily paused the previous judgment about the tariffs.
"The courts are basically telling you guys they think the White House's policies, the president's policies, are in some way against the law, Doocy said, putting it mildly."
"If these judges want to be secretary of state or the president, they can run for office themselves. It should be the other way around."
