Donald Trump, in his speech at the Department of Justice on Friday, said it "should be illegal" for people to criticize judges, adding that it "probably is illegal in some form."
It's not the first time the president has expressed this sentiment - on the campaign trail last year, Trump said people "should be put in jail" for criticizing the conservative justices on the Supreme Court.
Trump has, of course, consistently attacked the judges who presided over his criminal and civil cases. His comments Friday came just hours after his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, stood outside the White House and attacked a judge who ruled on Thursday that the Trump administration had illegally fired thousands of probationary employees in a "sham" operation to circumvent employment laws.
"You cannot have a low-level district court judge filing an injunction to usurp the executive authority of the president of the United States, that is completely absurd," Leavitt said, adding that "all of these injunctions have always been unconstitutional and unfair."
She asserted that "as the executive of the executive branch, the president has the ability to fire or hire," further complaining about "these lower-level judges who are trying to block this president's agenda."
