The Trump Administration Is on a Legal Losing Streak
The Trump administration has faced a series of legal setbacks, including the Department of Justice withdrawing subpoenas against New York Times reporters and their families over reporting on Air Force One security flaws. It also abandoned a request for a list of Jewish faculty and students at the University of Pennsylvania and saw a Trump-appointed judge block the White House from obtaining Kentucky voter rolls. These developments illustrate a pattern of losing battles in courts across different issues.
