WSJ slams Trump adviser's war on Fed analysts: 'Clearly the White House is worried'

The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board was outraged after one of President Donald Trump's top economic advisers appeared to threaten punishment against Federal Reserve economists for publishing a study that showed Trump's tariffs are costing Americans billions of dollars.

"The paper is an embarrassment. It's, I think, the worst paper I've ever seen in the history of the Federal Reserve System," Hassett told a CNBC anchor. "The people associated with this paper should presumably be disciplined, because what they've done is they've put out a conclusion that has created a lot of news, that's highly partisan, based on analysis that wouldn't be accepted in a first-semester econ class."

On Wednesday night, Trump signed an executive order to boost the domestic production of the weed killer glyphosate, a move that some in the MAHA movement found detestable. Health Secretary Robert F.

Trump lawyer astonishes admitting court orders flouted 75 times: 'Everybody is on notice'

In a damning incident flagged by Slate legal experts Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern, a prosecutor working in one of President Donald Trump's U.S. Attorney's offices was asked by a judge to count the number of times the office has violated court orders — and he came back with an astonishing figure.

Jordan Fox, a DOJ official assigned to handle the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey after Trump's ally Alina Habba was forced to resign by federal courts, was ordered to provide this assessment by U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz. This came after the judge issued an order prohibiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement from moving a detainee out of state, only for ICE to do so five days later.
