Trump Targets Legal War Against His Agenda [WATCH]

President Donald Trump has instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to take legal action against law firms and attorneys filing what he describes as “frivolous, unreasonable, and vexatious litigation” targeting his administration.

The directive was issued in a presidential memorandum released Saturday by the White House.

In it, Trump cited provisions of civil procedure law that prohibit attorneys from using the legal system to harass or cause unnecessary delay and asked Bondi to explore penalties against law firms pursuing such lawsuits.

“Far too many attorneys and law firms have long ignored these requirements when litigating against the Federal Government or in pursuing baseless partisan attacks,” Trump stated in the memorandum.

“I hereby direct the Attorney General to seek sanctions against attorneys and law firms who engage in frivolous, unreasonable, and vexatious litigation against the United States.”

The Trump administration has faced more than 100 legal challenges since January, with the volume of lawsuits surpassing that seen during the early months of the Obama and Biden administrations.

According to administration officials, at least 15 injunctions were issued by federal courts last month alone, halting various executive actions.

Among the blocked measures is President Trump’s executive order eliminating birthright citizenship, which has faced multiple court challenges.

Another blocked policy involved the president’s use of wartime powers to authorize the deportation of certain Venezuelan nationals with gang affiliations.

While some legal analysts have argued that district courts are overstepping their authority, the Trump administration has stated it will follow the legal process through appeals.

In several cases, Trump’s legal team has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to review whether lower courts should have the ability to impose nationwide injunctions while litigation is ongoing.

In the meantime, Bondi is expected to evaluate legal options for pushing back on what the administration views as an organized effort to obstruct federal policy through the courts.

Bondi, a former Florida Attorney General and longtime ally of President Trump, took over as U.S. Attorney General earlier this year.

Her appointment was met with strong support from conservatives who praised her record on legal reform and her previous efforts in combating litigation abuse at the state level.

According to the administration, the legal pushback it faces is not limited to isolated actions.

Officials believe there is a coordinated legal effort by political opponents who are seeking to use the courts to override executive authority and delay implementation of federal policies.

The president’s memorandum comes amid broader discussions about judicial overreach and the role of federal courts in shaping or halting executive actions.

Some Republican lawmakers have called for reforms that would limit the ability of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions.

As the legal battles continue, the Trump administration is expected to challenge rulings and injunctions through the appellate system while also holding attorneys accountable for what it believes is a misuse of the courts.

President Trump’s team has indicated that it will not ignore court rulings but is prepared to challenge them at higher levels, including the Supreme Court if necessary.

Bondi’s role will now include evaluating which law firms or attorneys have crossed the line and ensuring that appropriate legal action is taken in response.
