Trump Directs Bondi to Probe Attorneys Who lob ‘frivolous, unreasonable’ litigation against his administration; Trump unleashes AG Pam Bondi on law firms to combat ‘baseless’ civil litigation against president

Trump directs Bondi to probe attorneys who lob ‘frivolous, unreasonable’ litigation against his administration:

President Trump directed US Attorney General Pam Bond to pursue penalties against law firms and lawyers that lodge “frivolous” litigation against the government.

Trump pointed to civil procedure rules barring lawyers from lodging legal filings to “harass” or “cause unnecessary delay” and asked Bondi, 59, to recommend additional steps he could take to fight back.

“Far too many attorneys and law firms have long ignored these requirements when litigating against the Federal Government or in pursuing baseless partisan attacks,” Trump said in a presidential memorandum the White House released Saturday.

“I hereby direct the Attorney General to seek sanctions against attorneys and law firms who engage in frivolous, unreasonable, and vexatious litigation against the United States.”

The Trump administration has weathered well over 100 lawsuits since late January.

Last month alone, the courts imposed 15 injunctions against the president’s actions, dramatically outpacing the judicial roadblocks former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden faced.

This includes injunctions on Trump’s executive order to scrap birthright citizenship, the block on the president’s use of wartime power to deport Venezuelan gangbangers and more. —>READ MORE HERE

Trump unleashes AG Pam Bondi on law firms to combat ‘baseless’ civil litigation against president:

President Donald Trump has threatened new actions against lawyers and law firms that bring immigration lawsuits and other cases against the government that he deems to be unethical.

Trump said in a memorandum to US Attorney General Pam Bondi that lawyers were helping to fuel ‘rampant fraud and meritless claims’ in the immigration system.

He directed the Justice Department to seek sanctions against attorneys for professional misconduct.

The order also took aim at law firms that sue the administration in what Trump, a Republican, called ‘baseless partisan’ lawsuits.

He asked Bondi to refer such firms to the White House to be stripped of security clearances, and for federal contracts they worked on to be terminated.

Legal advocacy groups sounded the alarm on Saturday following Trump’s directive.

Ben Wizner, a senior lawyer at the American Civil Liberties Union, said the commands sought to ‘chill and intimidate’ lawyers who challenge the president’s agenda.

Trump has separately mounted attacks on law firms over their internal diversity policies and their ties to his political adversaries.

‘Courts have been the only institution so far that have stood up to Trump’s onslaught,’ Wizner said. ‘Courts can’t play that role without lawyers bringing cases in front of them.’

The ACLU is involved in litigation against the administration over immigrant deportations, including the expulsion of alleged Venezuelan gang members.

The Trump administration has been hit with more than 100 lawsuits challenging White House actions on immigration, transgender rights and other issues since the start of the president’s second term.

Legal advocacy groups, along with at least 12 major law firms, have brought many of the cases.

A White House spokesperson, Taylor Rogers, said ‘President Trump is delivering on his promise to ensure the judicial system is no longer weaponized against the American people.’ —>READ MORE HERE
