The New York City Bar Association lambasted President Donald Trump and his administration for abuses of power and breaching public trust. The group cited deployment of federal troops and federalized National Guard forces into American cities without lawful justification, and efforts to strip citizenship from U.S.-born individuals, restrict voting, and suppress free speech. The report identified attacks on judicial independence, including vilifying judges, failing to follow court orders, and attempting to intimidate private law firms and attorneys. It documented attempts to undermine Congress through unauthorized military strikes, broad delegations of power, and rollbacks of environmental protections. The report raised concerns about compromised national security and the use of the presidency for personal enrichment, citing crypto deals, sales of pardons, and acceptance of a gift airplane. The group urged Congress to exercise constitutional oversight to hold the president accountable.
