The White House says court rulings going against President Donald Trump's administration are coming from “judicial activists” on the bench whose decisions amount to a “constitutional crisis.”

Judges have blocked Trump on immigration, federal spending and other issues, setting the stage for protracted legal battles.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stood behind her briefing podium Wednesday and falsely told reporters that it is the federal judiciary — not President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser Elon Musk — who are precipitating a constitutional crisis in the United States.
