NEW DELHI (AP) – (AP) – President Trump is repeating his call for two liberal-leaning Supreme Court justices to recuse themselves from cases involving him or his administration.
Trump said Tuesday in India that he doesn’t know how Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor “cannot recuse themselves for anything Trump or Trump related.”
Trump claims Ginsburg “went wild” during the 2016 campaign with criticism of him. Ginsburg had told CNN at the time Trump “says whatever comes to his head at the moment.” She later apologized.
Trump says Sotomayor made “highly inappropriate” comments in a blistering dissent critical of the Trump administration’s rush to claim emergencies when asking the Supreme Court to review cases.
