WASHINGTON (AP) Chief Justice John Roberts is pushing back against President Donald Trump for his description of a judge who ruled against Trumps migrant asylum policy as an Obama judge.
Its the first time the Republican-appointed leader of the federal judiciary has offered even a hint of criticism of Trump, who has previously blasted federal judges who ruled against him.
Roberts said Wednesday the U.S. doesnt have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. He commented in a statement released by the Supreme Court after a query by The Associated Press.
