“The Justice Department’s surprise reversal last week on defending the White House’s sanctions against law firms came after an angry outburst by President Trump,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
Said Trump: “I never signed off on that.”
“He then directed top White House officials to tell the department to change course… The message was conveyed to the Justice Department that Trump wanted to continue going after the law firms. In a court filing last Monday night, the Justice Department said it was abandoning the defense of the orders, but it reversed its position the next day.”
