Ty Cobb, a former White House lawyer, criticized Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt for denouncing judges ruling recently against Trump's tariffs. During a CNN segment, he emphasized that her comments were poorly informed and unlikely to be taken seriously. He noted that the judiciary's role is to determine if Congress granted the president the authority under the relevant statute, which has not historically been used for tariffs. This criticism comes after a ruling by a court of appeals paused a previous decision declaring those tariffs invalid.
"I don't think creepy Karoline when she speaks I don't think anybody in America really takes her seriously on a matter of substance. I mean, she's not learned by any imagination."
"These courts are not trying to participate in international trade matters. All they're doing is ruling on whether a statute authorizes actions by a president."
