On March 14, 2024, I was in the media room at the federal courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida.

The DOJ is now reviewing whether federal agencies engaged in politically motivated lawfare in the high-profile case of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters. In response to the DOJ’s filing, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser urged the Denver federal court to reject its interference.
More than a dozen blue states which sued Elon Musk and DOGE on Thursday will push for an injunction against the Trump Administration later this morning. If granted, the temporary restraining order, or TRO, will immediately halt the president and the federal agencies’ ongoing efforts to cut waste, fraud, and the embedded members of the bureaucratic resistance.

The state court judge presiding over the New York criminal case against Donald Trump ordered sentencing of the president-elect to proceed on January 10, 2025. By setting sentencing a mere 10 days before his inauguration, and by signaling his intent to sentence the soon-to-be president to an unconditional discharge, the judge has unwittingly conceded the indictment of Trump on 34-felony counts was pure lawfare.
Pundits and historians will be a long time sorting out the magnitude of Donald Trump’s electoral victory but one thing already is clear: Trump not only triumphed in the presidential contest, he also won the lawfare war. The latter—a victory for the constitutional foundation of the country —may prove as consequential as the former.
